kedai,
To my understanding, once a user is authenticated the AUTHENTICATED_USER object is available everywhere the user goes.
I hope I'm right as my new site depends on it, ;¬)

I'm having a few 'weirdies' with it Phil. I'm authenticating at the top level with the domain hack that Martijn described (ie AnonUser domain = *.*.*.*). At a level below I authenticate Newcastle User (NclUser, domain = *.ncl.ac.uk). This works fine. However, I also authenticate against a UserDB object for people who need to upload objects. I find that methods at the top level get the NclUser authentication rather than the 'tone' authentication that UserDB provides. At least that's what I *think* is happening... I don't have a workaround I'm afraid. My long term goal is to have everyone authenticate against UserDB. hth tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2
