You're going to need to create a Credentials Checker to look into ZODB
to get the information. See twisted.cred.checkers.FilePasswordDB for
an example of how to do this -- that one reads a file that has
"username:password" lines and authenticates against
it. `requestAvatarID' is the only public interface that it must
implement.
