Zope and Security
by Tom Scheidt 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Im interested in setting up a Zope site for an accountant. I'd like to have his clients be able to review and submit information online, but Im concerned about security issues, such as entering social security #s etc. I have Zope running with Apache v1.3.x Does anyone know of any links covering possible solutions? Have any ideas? Tom Scheidt | www.falsemirror.com | tom(a)falsemirror.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------

You get a beautifully formated view of the complete HTTP Request send by the browser. Often this helps to analyse such problems. Dieter

Today, I read the "ZopeSecurity" artikel by Jim Fulton (--> zope.org) It tells that this behaviour is changed for Zope 2.2. Dieter

Re: [Zope] Arrg! dtml-in can't handle lists of pairs!

I even looked through the code in DT_In.py and couldn't figure out where it handled this special case. This seems to me like a pretty big gotcha. I did find out that a list of two items was not handled the same way as a tuple of two items. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to invoke list(). > > For pairs, the first component becomes "sequence-key" and > the second "sequence-item". > > > Not a good thing.

International characters / search / objects / viewing ..
by Jørgen Skogstad 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Kindest! Have anyone seen problems with international characters in ZClasses / searches? The problem only arise after the object is inserted into the object database.. and when viewed after the search.. when it is inserted into the object database all seems ok and looks just fine on the screen. "'Heisann .. dette er kun en liten test annonse for \345 vise at kontakt annonse biten omsider fungerer. Den er ikke optimal og det er en del punkter som b\370r gj\370res" .. the codes above are for norwegian characters.. and I was wondering how I fix this problem? Could this have something to say with "-L" option for starting Zope? .. or is this simply the object database cannot cope with characters other than the "normal english" alhpabet? Any input? Would be very happy! .. and have a real nice day! Kindest, Jørgen Skogstad

two stupid, non-technical questions.
by Jon Franz 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Please excuse these questions, they are not my average question fodder... A) Are there Zope t-shirts available, or downloadable artwork to make your own Zope t-shirts? - this question was actually posed by a co-worker who seems to get his entire wardrobe from copyleft and software companies promoting their products... would a copyleft shirt be appropo? B) Has anyone modified their apache installation (if using the apache pass through to Zope) to return the server as being a Zope server? I ask because if we do not do this, then we (the Zope community) will only appear in the netcraft server surveys when using the stand-alone ZServer...

too many open files
by Ragnar Beer 05 Jul '00

05 Jul '00

Help! Zope 2.1.6 refuses to work in the middle of an external method on my i386 running under OpenBSD 2.7. Is says: ---------------------------------------------------- OSError [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/var/tmp/(a)6067.265' ---------------------------------------------------- I've never ever seen this problem before and this external method used to work well until some minutes ago. Now the error keeps reappearing even after rebooting and also other external methods that used to run well now deliver the same message. Does anybody have suggestions how to diagnose/cure this problem? --Ragnar
