Well, after spending the last 3 days on this problem I think I've finally narrowed it down. It seems that since you have to run Zope using FastCGI with Zeus that Zeus is indeed taking over the authentication portion. I got SimpleUserFolder working perfectly from within the ZMI (testing the ZSQL Method and Python Script against the PGSQL DB) but when I try and access the page from the web it prompts me for a username and password (which it's supposed to do). Unfortunately what is happening is it's not Zope that's prompting me. It's Zeus. Not only that but since I modified the permissions in zope so that anonymous users don't have access, only authenticated users and their appropriate roles do, Zope is also trying to authenticate. Both are failing miserably. Is anyone on this list using Zeus and Zope together? Is there a way to make this work? I have several sites that I need to password protect certain portions of and all the user account information is stored in our PostgreSQL DB. I really need some help here. kittonian
