Zope application offline - how to apply a license ptotection?
by Anton Zubenko 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Greetings to all zope community. Our company is developing an application, supposed to be run under dedicated zope server, placed offline in our customers corporate environment and requested via LAN. The commerical approach is to impose a recurrent fee on our customer for using the software. Thus, application needs a renewable license mechanism. Supposedly, customer gets his updated license in some format upon successfull payment and supplies it in order to continue using the application (license should contain data like number of users, next expiration date, etc.) What would be the right way to protect this mechanism from hacking, provied that zope is an open-source platform, so any code is hypothetically accessable by the customer and apllication is run completely offline with no intercation with our information system? The required level of protection is not really high, but we need to be safe from attempts to hack the application by modest programmers at least. Thanks for inputs! -az

WebDAV&Windows
by ogura＠ids.co.jp 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

I am using Zope 2.6.1. I copy a folder with many files from Zope to Windows XP using WebDAV. But only folders copied. Files are not copied. Just after I clear IE cache, I can copy all normally. But Second, this problem occurs. And I found modified date of cached files are abnormal. Copying from mod_dav to Windows XP ends normally. Someone knows how to solve this problem? ---- IDS Corp.

How to do a simple form?
by iny+dev＠iki.fi 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

I need to do simple forms with zope. The forms are used to do simple queries, such as getting volunteers for organizing an event. The need is just to get a text file that contains the field names and values. It should also be possible to restrict the access to that result file to certain people. It should also be so that one would be able to do new queries just by doing a new form and possibly some simple method or something (and with restricted rights to zope). I know how to do the rest, but the problem is where to store the data? (And the data is just the values entered to those forms, no other assumptions.) Some possibilities: * SQL: complicated * Mailing and then handling with procmail: ugly * ZODB: How? * To the filesystem with extenal method: could be, how to make it secure? I am using Zope 2.6.x. -- Ilpo Nyyssönen # biny # /* :-) */

Documentation on External Interface to ZoDB
by Roy Rapoport 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Until Paul gets around to implementing disparate directory syncing in zsyncer, I'd love to put together a temporary script that will simply export a given 'directory' on a Zope server and then import it elsewhere on a different Zope server. For this, I'll need to figure out how to externally interface to the ZoDB. I'm assuming there's a Python module to do this. Any pointers for docs?

Try looking at the RevisionManager product ? I haven't used it myself, but my reading on it suggests it should do what you want ... J.F. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Jean [mailto:robertjean2@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 3:31 PM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Source Control Hello, I am looking for a source control system for objects stored in the ZODB. ZCVSFolder looks nice, but it is quite old and UNIX only. We are running Windows and Zope 2.6. Any suggestion? Thanks, Robert __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

urllib permission setting when accessing a zope ob from python
by Giuseppe Bonelli 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hi all, I have a problem with a permission setting when accessing a zope object from python code, namely with urllib. Here is my situation: I have a method which call an xslt transform (using 4Suite, if that matters) and everything goes well unless when the xslt import another xsl via <xsl:import href="imported.xsl"/> (yes, the URI passed for resolving imports is correct). In this case, an extra authorization step is required from whiten the python console (_not_ through Zope login widget), after which everything works normally. In the log I have the following entry: 127.0.0.1 - Anonymous [12/Aug/2003:13:58:25 +0200] "GET styleSheet.xsl HTTP/1.0" 401 803 "" "Python-urllib/1.15" Obviously I already authenticated myself when starting the Zope session. Since the app should be deployed securely, I have disabled all anon role access (and transferred the relevant permission settings to the authenticated role). I am probably missing something very simple, ... but I don't get it !! Any ideas ? TIA, __peppo

Changing default content for DTML Documents?
by Alex Coventry 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hi. The default content for DTML Documents is incompatible with Epoz. If you point Epoz at a newly created document, and click submit, the result is the error 'Invalid attribute name, "standard_html_header", for tag <dtml-var standard_html_header="">, on line 1 of test.' To get around this, I would like newly created documents to start with no text. Is there an easy way to do this, short of changing Zope's source? Alex.
