I have tried to logout with standard basic authentification, but I have not seen nothing in Mailing List. Only I have seen log out with cookie-based authentication, but i have to use standard authentification. I don't know how i can do it. What can I do to logout with standard basic authentification?

Some more strange permission/role stuff
by Andy Dustman 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Environment: Red Hat Linux/Intel, Zope 2.1.6, GenericUserFolder 1.1.0 Problem: I have a GenericUserFolder in a folder in the root folder. When I log in to the initial Zope management screen, with a user with both Manager and Owner roles (andy), I get this as debugging output: 2000-03-29T21:23:04 PROBLEM(100) GUF gudid is Even though I am not going into the folder with the GUF. Probably this is due to just accessing contents information. Note that it says "gudid" and not "gufid", which is what's in the code, which is a bit odd. It's also printing some squirrely 8-bit character that doesn't paste in. The folder with the GUF (XXX) has acquisition turned off for all permissions, and all permissions enabled on Manager. The GUF itself has normal security. In addtion to this, the user is assigned the local roles of Manager and Owner in both XXX and XXX/acl_users. It doesn't seem to matter whether these local roles are assigned or not. If, as my user with Manager and Owner roles, I try to get into XXX, this happens in the debug log: 2000-03-29T21:23:26 PROBLEM(100) GUF URL is http://stan:8080/XXX in validate ------ 2000-03-29T21:23:26 PROBLEM(100) GUF Failed to authenticate with http://stan:8080/XXX/acl_users - crawling up ------ 2000-03-29T21:23:26 PROBLEM(100) GUF Authenticated andy with http://stan:8080/acl_users ------ 2000-03-29T21:23:26 PROBLEM(100) GUF Returning andy from http://stan:8080/XXX/acl_users validate (roles=('Anonymous',)) ------ 2000-03-29T21:23:26 PROBLEM(100) GUF URL is http://stan:8080/XXX in validate ------ 2000-03-29T21:23:26 PROBLEM(100) GUF Failed to authenticate with http://stan:8080/XXX/acl_users - crawling up ------ 2000-03-29T21:23:26 PROBLEM(100) GUF Failed Authentication with http://stan:8080/acl_users ------ The first three messages seem okay to me. The problem is that it is only validating my user for the Anonymous role, and from then it seems to be working as it should: It pops up a login document. The login stuff and authentication seems to work properly. But it is not getting the correct Roles from the top-level acl_users. The superuser works as you would expect, until you look at the debugging info. 2000-03-29T21:47:14 PROBLEM(100) GUF URL is http://stan:8080/XXX in validate ------ 2000-03-29T21:47:14 PROBLEM(100) GUF Failed to authenticate with http://stan:8080/Starbase/acl_users - crawling up ------ 2000-03-29T21:47:14 PROBLEM(100) GUF Authenticated superuser with http://stan:8080/acl_users ------ 2000-03-29T21:47:14 PROBLEM(100) GUF Returning superuser from http://stan:8080/Starbase/acl_users validate (roles=('Anonymous',)) ------ 2000-03-29T21:47:14 PROBLEM(100) GUF URL is http://stan:8080/XXX in validate ------ 2000-03-29T21:47:14 PROBLEM(100) GUF Failed to authenticate with http://stan:8080/XXX/acl_users - crawling up ------ 2000-03-29T21:47:14 PROBLEM(100) GUF Authenticated superuser with http://stan:8080/acl_users ------ 2000-03-29T21:47:14 PROBLEM(100) GUF Returning superuser from http://stan:8080/XXX/acl_users validate (roles=['Manager', 'Admin', 'Engineer', 'Manager', 'User']) The difference here is on the first try (with andy), it crawls up twice and fails each time, but with the superuser, it again crawls up twice (gets just the Anonymous role at first), but on the second crawl, validates the correct roles (note that manager appears twice). Tracebacks dont look useful, just raising the LoginRequired exception, and the only reason I have a traceback is because of debug mode. Is this a bug (whose bug is it, anyway?) or a feature?

Problems using DateTime in dtml and python. Help...
by dtroy＠ne.mediaone.net 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

I have been building an interface for call reports from a MySQL database on linux slackware 7 using recent source distributions of Zope ,MySql and python. Besides a messy bout with the ZMySQLDA source, which is now not an issue, I've done OK. The problems: 1: I can call the DateTime() function from dtml like this- <dtml-var "_.DateTime(a_later_time) - _.DateTime(an_earlier_time)"> and I get what I need - a duration of time- but in days. Is there a method to change this to minutes and seconds or do I just do my own math ... result * 24 * 60 etc... Whenever I try to use the DateTime objects, eg fmt=DayOfWeek etc, I get invalid attribute errors. 2: I would rather do this work in an External Method, but when I try to use DateTime() in a method I get a Name Error when I try to update the Eternal Method in Zope. So I went to the python command line. >>> from DateTime import * Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError:No module named DateTime Obviously, I have some work to do, but what ? Recompile Python or Zope ? How do I get DateTime to be recognized as a module? I noted that the contents of the Setup file in /Zope/lib/python/DateTime are commented out- # install DateTime.py # install DateTimeZone.py I uncommented them for kicks and reinstalled Zope with the same results. It seems to me I'm missing something OBVIOUS. And help greatly appreciated... David Troy

Security Question (moving folders, manage_changeProperties)
by Scheidt, Tom E 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hi All, Ive created a Product on my site that clones a file, then changes its properties and places the new file into whatever folder Im accessing that Product from. It was working fine until I moved a bunch of folders. Basically, In the root folder I had a folder called website, then within that, folders called topstories, sports, weather etc. I copied the topstories, sports, weather folders to the root directory and then deleted the website folder. Now when I go into the sports folder, for instance and try to use the Product I made, I get a message saying "you are not authorized to access manage_changeProperties". I am listed as a Manager of the site though, and seem to have full permission to do anything. I have discussed this with the superuser and we can't figure out why this happening.

"find" tab
by Chien-pin Wang 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hi, Since zope was introduced, I've created a handful of objects in the nice application server and make great progress on several projects. Thanks to DC and supports from people in this forum. Lately, these handful of objects keep growing and, from time to time, I need to use find an object ID based on my vague memory. The "find" tab in the zope interface grabbed my attention. But it seems only accept full ID name to be put in the search field. Is there a way to let "find" search by pattern or wild card characters? I've tried *<pattern>%, %<pattern>%, or just <pattern> but with no luck. Please advise and sorry for my bad memory for which only part of the names can be kept for a short while. Chien-pin

Help with dtml-let & dtml-if
by dillera＠isc.upenn.edu 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hello: I'm not getting dtml-let. I use it to create a variable that I can access, correct? Say I want to initialize a counter, and change it from 0 1 each iteration of a loop. This will print out rows of a table with alternating background colors: <dtml-let x=0> </dtml-let> <dtml-in "getElementsByTagName('book')" > <dtml-if x==0> <tr bgcolor="DDEEAC"> <dtml-else> <tr> </dtml-if> write out some html </tr> <dtml-if x==0> <dtml-let x=1> </dtml-let> <dtml-else> <dtml-let x=0> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </table> </dtml-with> The let and if syntax is not good, and I can't read anywhere on how you would accomplish this type of construct. -andy

Re: [Zope-dev] Re: [Zope] Zope in Jpython

>>>>> "MP" == Michel Pelletier <michel(a)digicool.com> writes: MP> For a few seconds, yes. >> Are there reasons why this is a good idea? MP> Few. >> Bad idea? MP> Many. To concur with Michel -- JPython is a wonderful java prototyping environment. I know that people use it to do real work, as well... But, I'm really not sure that it gains you much, given Java's high footprint on anything that is non-Windows/non-Solaris. Also, JPython loses some of the nicer features of python (such as multiple inheritance; at least the more recent functional versions did, last I looked, 6 months ago). This might be problematic, depending on the guts of Zope. If you really want Java, I suggest sticking with Servlets. Or fork the source code... But Digital Creations, please don't reimplement Zope in JPython... best, -tony -- A.J.
