1. drop a cookiecrumbler product in the root directory of your website. 2. create a new role in the security tab of this directory. 3. give the role whatever permissions you want anonymous users to have when the system is released 4. remove the anonymous user rights to everything, except the login_form of the cookie crumbler (and your standard_html_header / footer, if they live in this directory) 5. create a user with this role in the acl_users folder then you can log in this user and view the site, but no-one else will be able to - they won't get past the login form.

I want to restrict access to my Zope Web site. Our company's new name must be kept secret for some months, even as I create the new Web site in Zope. I need to view the pages as they will appear to anonymous users, but can't risk anyone else seeing them. The Zope server is running on a remote Linux host.
The pages that would otherwise be public (e.g. the index_html methods) need to be available only to me for a time. I don't have the expertise to create a special index_html to require a password, but that's something like what I would want. I could play around with the port number, too, but that's tedious and not really a solution.
Has anyone solved this problem?
Thanks in advance, Jon Whitener Detroit Michigan USA
