Hmm. No takers the first time.

Quick review: python product, product instantiates a DTML method and tries to assign it a proxy role. Proxy role gets assigned, but a 'manager' account can no longer access the method, though superuser can. Zope 2.1.6.

I played with the product some more, moving some stuff around, and this time when I instantiated it, the proxy role no longer seems to be working (I get a login box when I try to dereference the method). The manager/superuser behavior is the same.

The folder is created using newWampumboxF = Folder(). Then a method named processCCTrans is added to this folder using a manage_addDocument call. That obviously works fine. I then try to add the proxy role by doing the following:

x=newWampumboxF.processCCTrans x._proxy_roles=('Manager',) newWampumboxF.processCCTrans=x

It seems to me from my reading of the code that this should be equivalent to what manage_proxy does, though obviously without the through-the-web security checks. But the end result is a DTML method that I can only view as superuser, but that has Manager checked in its 'proxy' management screen (as well as a perfectly normal appearing security page).

Any guesses? Any suggestions for experiements to run, even?

I reported this a looooong time ago (in the Collector, don't have a number) as a bug for normal proxy roles (not product related), but never got an answer. So probably this is hard solve (or no one saw it). This won't help, I know, but thought I'd just let you know. Rik
