Hi all, As a Zope newbie (sorry!), I'm deeply confused by how to make users work the way I want. The site I am developing is an "ideas" site, where people can vote on ideas and post new ideas. What I want to achieve is that everyone can access the content or vote anonymously, but to post they have to log in. As this is an intranet site, the WinNT domain controller already has a list of every possible user and a password, so I want to use this to authenticate who people are, and I certainly don't want to have to create and maintain a Zope user for each and every person in the organization! When people try to post without logging in, I want to send them to a page explaining the login requirements and giving them a login form, rather than popping up a http authenticate dialog. To say that I have no clue how to go about this is an understatement. I think there are three parts to this - one is the login form, the other is setting the right permissions on the posting form and the third is accessing the NT user database. I've looked at LoginManager, acl_users and various howtos, but I can't work out how to put it all together, despite my feeling that it's all there somewhere :-) So could anyone outline how to go about this - pointers to dtml source, howtos etc gratefully received.
