Thank you for the tip with the access file. The remote user mode with challenge\response works perfect if I delete the Password of the access file.
But, if I delete the Password of the access file I get a Zope Error when I am not using the challenge\response mode.
that is the point :-) As far as I know, it is not possible for Zope to run in remote user mode and normal mode together (they are mutually exclusive) I think that the solution is to run two Zope instances in a ZEO cluster (on the same machine), one which talks with PCGI (and so is in remote user mode) and one which serves directly the requests (and is not in remote user mode) perhaps someone on the list can give his opinion (note that i am not on the zope-dev list, so cc: any answer)
The error gets raised in your NTUserFolder.py in line 79 ( return string.lower(login) ) when login is None. (Anonymous login)
I changed it to
def _normalize(self, login): """normalize a login name. Currently, it is made lowercase """ if login is None: # modification login = 'Anonymous User' # modification return string.lower(login)
This is a very ugly hack, but it works. You normally cannot login directly with Zope if it is running in remote user mode. At least, with your patch, one can browse the site anonymously

we are using your product "jcNTUserFolder" in challenge/response mode together with IIS on NT4 with Zope 2.2.2. It works perfect. what version? is it 0.0.8 or 0.1.0?
Because of bugs in Zope 2.2.2 we want to migrate to Zope 2.3 and "jcNTUserFolder 0.1.0" note that 0.1.1 have been released
I managed to set up the the NT User Folder as acl_user folder in the root level. Now I still have the problem that the users don't get recognized by zope. They always get prompted for Username / Password / domain. And even if they apply the correct Username / Pwd / domain they get rejected.
Could you give me a tip what is going wrong? I need your answer to above questions. if migrating from 0.0.x to 0.1.x, you have to follow the instructions given on
http://www.zope.org/Members/jephte/jcNTUserFolder/installation
note: for remote user mode to work with zope 2.3.x, you *must* have the access file. it is not installed by
default
for Zope 2.3.x
