Now, the fact that we can add /manage to any URL to edit the data seems like a potential security hole. all it would take to crack a Zope password would be running a password guesser with user 'superuser'. Or am I missing something here?
Yes. If you are security-conscious you change the superuser account name and choose a very hard to guess password.
okay, that means that instead of it taking N tries to hack a password, it takes N^2 tries. *shrug* a little better. is there a way to run all the /manage pages behind SSL, so they're less prone to password sniffing? or to rename /manage to something a little more obscure? it just seems to me that the /manage URLs are just waiting to be exploited by some cracker. srl, picking security nits ---- Shane Renee Landrum slandrum<@>cs.smith.edu
