Thank you for your example, Maurits.

Now I am looking into your code trying to solve another problem but I
seem you do something different; I authenticate against an external
service and I don't create real users in Plone (while you do in your
plugin, if I am not wrong), so, I need a data structure in my plugin
to temporarily store information about users who logged-in through it.

Then I would like to catch the user logout action from within my
plugin in order to do some cleaning in my volatile user storage (the
data structure).

I have tried to use the resetCredential interface but it seems Plone
doesn't consider it and I don't know if it is the right place.

Do you know where I could write some lines to do cleaning stuff on
user logout (within my plugin)?

Thank you very much for you attention

Andrea
