Hi. I'm really sorry to bother you by writing to you directly, but can I ask you a question about jcNTUserFolder? I'm not quite clear how it's meant to work. I've got Zope running on an NT machine that's not a domain controller for the domain it's in. Is it possible to authenticate all the users that are in that domain?
Hello, Well, jcNTUserFolder is designed to run on the domain controller. The problem is, I don't know how to *enumerate* users on a distant controller. Also, I don't know how to ask what is the controller of a domain. jcNTUserFolder try to log the user on the computer running Zope. This always succeed when the machine is a domain controller, and the user is in the domain. However, when the machine running zope is not the domain controller, you have to create all the users of that domain in jcNTUserFolder (with the syntax domain\username), and on NT, give those users the right to log on from the network on the machine running Zope. This is difficult to do when you have a lot of users, but sorry, there isn't another way right now, until of course I find a way to enumerate users on a distant controller. regards, jephte.clain@univ-reunion.fr
