each member type has a set of "active" workflow states.  only when you're 
member object is in one of these active workflow states will authentication be 
allowed.

you can see an interface for this in the ZMI, on the 'status map' tab of the 
membrane_tool.

you can also manipulate it programmatically, but using adapting the 
membrane_tool to the ICategoryMapper interface.  then you can use 
listCategorySets to see the existing category sets, and listCategories to see 
the categories in a given set.  it should be pretty straightforward from 
looking at the existing values how you can set your own.
