In current ezp3-rc2, user management is quite fragile (credentials validation is not processed in a robust way, you are logged in without being granted access to sites etc.) I issued some bug reports & patches to many problems I encountered when trying to accomplish the thing you have in mind. I finally made a client/public - zone setup work on my local ezp3-rc2 testbox now, but to make it work in sensible & safe way, I had to code stuff for about 10 days. Consider if you want to go this path, too, or if you can afford to postpone the protected zone issue.
