I have a question in regards to your jcNTUserFolder..........how can set the folder to authenticate to a remote Domain Controller? When a user identify himself as USERNAME, it is considered to be DEFAULTNTDOMAIN\USERNAME. So I you want to authenticate users on a different domain than the local domain, you have to change the Default NT Domain to the remote domain. I suppose that your server have to be part of the domain. Unfortunately, you have then to create each remote user in the 'domain users' tab **in order to be able to give them roles**. If those users are to be anonymous, you needn't create them in the tab.
Also, a user can log as DOMAIN\USERNAME to authenticate as USERNAME on DOMAIN. My product is currently designed to be run *on* a Domain Controller (primary or backup) to be able to enumerate all the users of the domain. Perhaps in a future version it will be able to enumerate users on a distant server???
In addition, when I use your product....the local Domain Name it sees is "NT Authority" This is normal because you run Zope as a service. I noticed that the users are authenticated the right way nevertheless. So it shouldn't be a problem. If you are in doubt, change the default nt domain
When I run the win32api.GetDomainName in the PythonWin I would get the correct Domain. Pythonwin is not run as a service... :-)
What can I do to change this? It shouldn't be a problem. users should be authenticated the right way. If you have problems, I am interested to hear about them.
PS: I hope to write some docs very soon. I apologize to release a product without any docs. As usual, the source is to be read to understand how the product work :-) Regards, Jephte CLAIN minf7@educ.univ-reunion.fr
