Re: [Zope-dev] No more access to username

Until Zope 2.8.3 it was possible to access to the name of the logged in user also in a public accessible method. .. This no longer works in Zope 2.8.5 (2.8.4 is untested) and Zope 2.9.0.

Zope development seems a bit chaotic: What you describe now was the standard Zope behaviour for a long time. Then developpers realized that this "feature" (suppressing authentication for public objects) brings more pain than gain and disabled it. Apparently, a new generation of Zope developpers lost the old wisdom and reenabled the misfeature.... I (at your place) would file a bug report, citing the old problem reports (to be found in the mailing list archive). -- Dieter
