Why have you only got access to the emergency user? Are you trying to use SUF as your top-level user folder? If so, get the ZSQL methods working before you delete the old user folder ;-) > 2.

You should read the readme.txt file in the SUF distribution. The method needs to be called 'getUserDetails', not 'get_users_from_db'. It also needs to take a parameter called 'name' then, the select would be something like: SELECT m_admin_uid as NAME, m_admin_pwd as PASSWORD, ROLE FROM user WHERE m_admin_uid=<dtml-sqlvar name type="string"> Now, you'll notice that you probably don't have a column called 'ROLE'. What I do is have a seperate table mapping user names to roles, something like: Table:roles NAME ROLE chris Manager andy Manager andy Member Do you see what I mean? Then the select becomes: SELECT m_admin_uid as NAME, m_admin_pwd as PASSWORD, ROLE FROM user LEFT JOIN roles ON user.m_admin_uid=roles.NAME WHERE m_admin_uid=<dtml-sqlvar name type="string"> cheers, Chris

Hi, is it possible, to send ZopeObject with Properties etc. via the python.ftplib-module to a remote Zope-Server? Does anybody know how to do that. To send Text-files and images without the properties is no problem. Thanks for any hints, Elena

Apache + SSL + Zope on Debian 3.0
by Crawford Rainwater 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

I was wondering if anyone has any notes on how to make these all play nicely with each other. So far I have Apache and Zope playing well with Debian 3.0, but going with the HOWTO from the Zope site on including SSL in the picture, I am missing something (not sure just yet what it is either). For reference, we have Zope redirected to port 9080 which I think is part of my dilemma here. Thanks in advance. --- Crawford The I.T.E.C.

ParsedXML which version?
by kent sin 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Listed on the download section of Zope.org there are two entries for parsedXML the latest one is by Karl at 2002/09/03 which is 1.1B1 The other is from faassen at 2002/07/02 which is 1.3 As earlier mail point-out that 1.1B1 does not have the suitable pyd for python 2.1 now (which use 1.5). Which version should I use? What is the different? Rgs, Kent Sin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

deny access to manage interface from apache
by lee doolan 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

I have a zope server handling proxy passes from apache and I am trying to restrict access to the /manage functionality from the public facing website. here's my apache config <VirtualHost xx.xx.78.23:800> ServerAdmin webmaster(a)site.com DocumentRoot /htdocs/site/current ServerName www.site.com ServerAlias site.com *.site.com ErrorLog logs/site.com-error_log <Location ~ ".*/manage$"> Order deny,allow deny from all allow from 192.168 </Location> ProxyPass / http://internal.office.com:8080/site/com/ ProxyPassReverse / http://internal.office.com:8080/site/com/ CustomLog "|/usr/local/bin/logger-lc -p local1.notice" vcombined <Directory "/htdocs/site/current/"> Options +Includes AddHandler server-parsed .html </Directory> </VirtualHost> the trouble is that if I put a URL like this in the location bar www.site.com/manage_main I can get into the manage interface. On the other hand, if I block access to manage_main with a regex in the <Location ..> block, then I can no longer manage the site on my internal zope server located at http://internal.office.com:8080 How can I best handle this problem? __________________________________________________________ Outgrown your current e-mail service?

Re: [Zope] Custom authentication that avoids login screens

Right, I think this is what I tried to do. I add a CookieCrumbler, and replace the standard login_form DTML Method with a script like this: <code> req = context.REQUEST if req.has_key('came_from') and req['came_from']: dest = req.resolve_url(req['came_from']) req.set('__ac_user', 'bob') req.set('__ac_password', 'builder') return dest(REQUEST=req) else: raise AttributeError, "Didn't know where you came from." </code> This doesn't work - I'm guessing there's at least 2 problems: 1. req is not the original request (i.e. the one that corresponds to 'came_from'), so I'm passing an inappropriate request object to the destination object. 2. dest may not be directly callable, so I should perhaps be calling dest.index_html(REQUEST=req) in some cases How do I get around this? Thanks, Felix.

newbie zopeserver question
by Jim Lennox 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

I have just installed Zope 2.6 on RedHat Linux and it has Python 2.1.3 My browser is KDE Konqueror. I was able to start the server and get to the manage screen where I created another user (with manager and owner rights). Now if I try to logout from the original logon I get this message "Authentication Failed! Do you want to retry" If I answer yes then it endlessly prompts me for user name and password. And if I say yes then the screen says I logged out but it also still shows me logged in as "admin". I looked at the browser settings and tried to change them to send authentication information but nothing changed. Can anyone offer any advice. Thanks Jim
