Help me!

Hello, i'm building a site to sell images (this is the concept, the reality is different...). All the images are in a directory mapped through LocalFS product. For every image i have a record in a SQL table with all the basic informations: author, name of the file, cost. What i haven't understood is how to block users from getting images if they have not enough credit to buy them. I need to control the view method, but i don't know if this idea is the right one or there are better solutions. Any hints? Thanks, Bruno

I want you to look into the HTML _source_ in your browser :-) See where the stylesheet link is and where it points to. What is /instance? You did not specify /instance in your screenshot nor in the rewrite rule. And btw. be very carefull when browsing around with InternetExplorer. (Even better dont use it) Regards Tino

Handling login failures
by Håkan Johansson 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hi everyone. I want to be able to block a user from logging in if he fails to give the right login/password three times in a row. The problem is that I don't know how to do this. First, I need to know if an attempt failed. This, I have no idea how to do. Second, I need to block the user without deleting him. One problem here is that the user can write different login names for the different login attempts. We have been thinking about blocking the offender's IP for 30 minutes or so and leave it at that. It seems to me that SiteAccess.AccessRule could be used for that, but I haven't looked much into it yet. The documentation is extremely light. I have a very clean Zope 2.8.4 installation on a SuSE linux machine. Logins are handled in the standard Zope way, nothing special added. The Zope is running as a stand alone server, i.e. no Apache at all. Another thing: How do I get Zope to log failed authentication attempts? Neither event.log or Z2.log shows anything. As Z2.log is the access log, I would have guessed that such things should be logged there. If not, where and how?

Zope background variables
by Alric Aneron 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to store a global variable on the server, and have such variable be easily retrieved in Zope dtml/python methods. I want to make my own login system with sessions. And store session ID on the server and cookie to identify logged in users. Is there an easy way to store a list of users and session IDs on the server? Like a background array that's always available as long as the server is running. --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Zope Security
by michael nt milne 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi Just a quick query about Zope security etc. I've got an installation on a Windows server using Apache, which also hosts internal email/data etc. This is behind a router/firewall. Just wondering if there are any Zope security issues that I should be aware of? How secure is Zope? Thanks Michael PS This is a re-send as it bounced the first time round.

Multiple CookieCrumblers
by Brian Sullivan 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

I am using CookieCrumbler as an authentication method on a Zope site. I am looking at the feasibility of putting multi CookieCrumbler objects (all with the same settings -- except for the cache setting) on a site in order to allow some parts of the site to be cached in an upstream proxy and forbidding others. Is this a reasonable thing to do? Will it achieve the result I am looking for?
