Tutorial: Getting Started with Zend_Auth in ZF 1.0 only

This tutorial is intended to give a very basic introduction to using Zend_Auth for authentication of users. It builds on the Getting Started with the Zend Framework tutorial, so please read that one first!

NOTE: This tutorial has been tested on version 1.0.0 of the Zend Framework and is not very compatible with versions later than 1.4! It is unlikely to on any version prior to version 1.0.0 due to dependency on the ViewRenderer action helper.
