Incorrect login message - more information
by Marnie King 11 May '04

11 May '04

Our scenario is this..... We are using Zope with Apache and have created a folder under the Root Folder. In this folder I removed the original acl_users and added an exUserFolder and enabled secure cookie-based authentication. When I attempt to access this folder through a browser window, it comes up with the session based login box which is all ok. The problem I'm having is this.... If I put in a correct username but incorrect password, it comes up with a the login box again with the heading "Failed Login".... which is fine. But when I put in an incorrect username, it then comes up with a second login screen (Windows)and is asking for authentication again. Is there a way around this so that it also brings the original login box up again with the heading "Failed Login" ?? More information... We have this: <VirtualHost _default_:80> ServerName diff RewriteEngine On <Location ~ "/manage"> Redirect permanent /manage https://diff/manage SetHandler server-status Order Deny,Allow Allow from all #Deny from all </Location> RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:9080/VirtualHostBase/http/diff:80/Examples/GuestBook/Virtu… ot/$1 [L,P] </VirtualHost> Steps we have taken to try to rectify problem... Taken from Unenlightened Zopistas Guide to exUserFolder. We have attempted both steps 1.3 and 1.4 with no success. 1. 1.2 What happened You tried to access an area you don't have access to. Zope found the closest user folder to the object you were trying to access. The user folder decided you were not authorised and tried to display the login form. You don't have access to view the login form, so Zope finds the nearest user folder to the login form, which is the user folder above the protected directory. It pops up the authentication dialog. If you put in a valid username and password for this top level, then lower level then displays the login form. 1. 1.3 Solution 1 (preferred). Place the user folder one level above the folder you want to protect, that is in the unprotected area. Everything should work fine. 1. 1.4. Solution 2 (not so preferred). Set the View permission on the docLogin form inside the acl_users folder. You can get there by Choosing Contents on docLogin and scrolling down to the bottom. Any help in this matter is appreciated Thanks. ----------------------------------------------- ABS Web Site: www.abs.gov.au

Zope: Hi, is it possible to get BLOB data from a MySQL DB and send it as a file to a user? I would like to store several PDFs this way. Linking to them on the HDD is not really an option. Thanks, Jason.

Logging events
by Marnie King 10 May '04

10 May '04

I'm trying to figure out all I can about logging events in Zope and have come up with a little bit of information but not quite enough to clarify everything for me. As I'm sure you can guess.... I'm a newbie with this type of stuff. Anyway, I'm trying to find out exactly what type of things can get logged. My impression is almost anything. In the error_log you are able to stipulate "Ignored Exception Types" and by default there is "Unauthorised" and "NotFound". I assume we just add to this if we need to log other exceptions. Is there a list of exceptions that can be logged (that we can choose from) or do we configure these ourselves. If we have to configure them, can someone please point me in the right direction and maybe give an example?? Also... on the topic of error messages being logged, what is the actual format of the message being logged (format %(message)s) that gets written to the event log. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I originally wrote the following: ======== I am using Zope with Apache and have created a test folder under the Root Folder. In this test folder I removed the original acl_users and added an exUserFolder and enabled secure cookie-based authentication. When I attempt to access this test folder through a browser window, it comes up with the session based login box which is all ok. The problem I'm having is that if I put in an incorrect username / password, it then comes up with a second login screen (Windows)and is asking for authentication again. Why does it do this. I just want it to say that it is an incorrect login. Can this be achieved?? ======== Question 1 --> I got a response saying that maybe the "you are not authenticated" page is not viewable by anonymous users. I'm unable to find this page anywhere. Can someone let me know where this page can be found? It is not with the Login or Logout pages.... should it be?? Any help will be appreciated.

storing large files to an Apache Server from Zope/Plone
by Laura McCord 10 May '04

10 May '04

Does anyone have any information about this subject? I need to allow a user to store a large file to an Apache Server. Then I have to let the user set a password and username and send the directory path to a client. The client will then go to the url and enter the username and password to retrieve the files from the directory. I know I am going to utilize .htaccess/.htpasswd I guess for starters I need to be able to load a file onto the Apache server from zope/plone. Any Suggestions? Thanks.

RE: [Plone-users] [ANN] Epoz 0.8.1 released

Hi, I have just tested the new version. Here are my comments: > - Now the setup for getting relative urls from Epoz is much more > easier: There's a default EpozPostTidy.py in Epoz/Extensions which > can be used out of the box. [...] The pretty printer seems to be too aggressive when removing spaces: this & that --> this&that some <a href="..">other</a> page --> some<a href="..">other</a>page > - added a customcss-parameter (esp. for use in Plone) to render > customized css-styles in difference to a global css correctly. Works very well. Thank you. Mike

I have bought a copy of the book, and the book says it's open source!

I've emailed both the author and the publisher, but neither has sent me a response, and it's been 2 weeks. Since it was open source, that's why I was asking in here. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Withers [mailto:chris@simplistix.co.uk] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 8:14 AM To: Stephen W.
