achim, i just released a new version that addresses this problem for most cases and that does not throw up the login page for anonymous in your test case anymore. check it out and let me know if it solves your problem. you can get it at the usual place under http://www.dataflake.org/software/cookieuserfolder jens On Saturday, September 15, 2001, at 05:47 , Achim Domma wrote:
Hi,
I try to use CookieUserFolder to let Users authenticate through a webform, but if I create a CookieUserFolder a folder, the anonymous user can't access anything in this folder. I do the following steps :
1. create new folder 2. create DTMLDocument index_html in this folder 3. try to access index_html as anonymous user -> ok ! 4. create CookieUserFolder in this folder, change nothing else 5. try to access index_html as anonymous user -> login form apears !?
I tried to understand the code of CookieUserFolder and as far as I understand it also checks the anonymous user. It seems also to walk the folder hierarchy up to check other folders. Could it be problem, that I have a normal userfolder in a parentfolder ? In the folder above my new folder the anonymous user can access index_html and I use Acquisition, so I don't understand what's going wrong.
Another question : If I remove the CookieUserFolder again I still cannot access index_html. Is this normal ?
greetings Achim
