Hi,

If I want to edit a page, I have to be authenticated and zope ask me to with a login dialog.

How can I call this dialog from dtml or python? (i want to switch from user to another user).

You can't. The idea with authentication is that *you* should identify yourself. Not the computer. Instead of changing users, the users who should edit the page, should have the permission to do so.

And how can I logoff?

If you run internet explorer, you can't. With Firefox, there is a ZMI-page menu entry "logout". You can use that. -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/
