... Anyway, I am thinking of adding an unvalidated_hook call in ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py, something like:

if user is not None: if validated_hook is not None: validated_hook(self, user) request['AUTHENTICATED_USER']=user request['AUTHENTICATION_PATH']='/'.join(steps[:-i]) else: unvalidated_hook(request)

You should always have a "user" (i.e. "user" should not be "None"). If the user is not authenticated, you should get the "Anonymous user". The "user is None" case should only occur when the root does not contain an "acl_users" (but then your Zope site is insane). -- Dieter
