Is there a way to have two separate zope instances on different machines and have them both authenticate against one acl_users folder on only one of these machines?
By using ZEO?
No because I want to use different ZODB's. I have a management information system(MIS) used by teachers where the ZODB does not grow and all data is stored in a Postgres DB. The teachers authenticate against this machine. The students have an eportfolio system that runs on a different Zope server where the ZODB grows when students add work. I would like teachers to be able to log into the MIS and seemlessly visit the other student machine to grade work. As I have it, I would have to duplicate the acl_users folder for the teachers to both machines. It is this duplication that I am trying to do without. regards garry
