Authenticating users on Force.com site -- Article out of date --- now what?

The Article:  http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Authenticating_Users_on_Force.com_Sites

 

Teaches how to authenticate users to your Force.com site using customer portals.

They've been discontinued. 

My org doesn't have a Portal and can't ever get one at this point.

So now what?
My site says "Login not allowed,"  Period.

 

Chatter communities replaced Portals I understand, so how do we use communities to authenticate to Force.com sites?

 

The article needs to be taken down and a new one published.

 

Any input welcome.
