Zope's default user folder uses HTTP basic authentication, not cookies. When a request comes in, the "authorization" header is taken from the request (it contains the username and password) and Zope does authorization based on roles from there on in.

Thanks for the explanation, this answers the first question I asked. I re-post the other two questions. Regards, M.

Hi list,
....
Also, how does Zope keep track of the users currently logged in? What data structures does it use?
More, there seems to be no way of logging out (except if you're a manager: in this case you can use the logout button from the management interface): if you ask for a resource not publicly accessible, you're prompted to enter userid and password and from that moment on you're logged in, but how can you logout?
Regards, Mario.
