Below is a post from a user who needs very similar things I do. I feel I am exactly in the same boat he is. I want to use Zope to develop an Intranet. Our network is Win 2000 based and it's easy to develop with IIS/ASP and then integrate the authentication of your windows users. Since I found Zope, I have fallen in love with it. It's just way to cool! BUT... I cant get the authentication to work with anything but the built in user folders. Right now, my users can simply open a link on our Intranet sites, and my ASP scripts can determine who they are. I then can use this username to insert into a database or other functions, like printing it on the web page. With Zope, I have to maintain another set of users AND they have to enter a username and password to do the same thing I can do in IIS/ASP. I have tried the same things Sean has. I can see the users, but the authentication wont work. I have tried setting up pcgi through IIS, and letting IIS authenticate me. This would be wonderful if it worked. I can see the initial index_html under the server root. But anything else cannot be retrieved. So, if anyone has any help or could point me(and Sean) in the right direction, please do so! I appreciate any you may have. Thanks! Greg POST from Sean Kelley below ------------------------------------------------ Kelley, Sean SKelley@ci.santa-rosa.ca.us Tue, 14 May 2002 16:13:03 -0700 Hi, I have posted a few messages about windows domain level security and zope. I have gotten maybe one no-so-helpful response. I don't know if people don't know or I am forming my question wrong. Here goes another try. background: I am somewhat familiar with basic zope use and canned product installs with good docs but no guru and not familiar with python I want to: build a zope intranet which checks to see what windows group someone belongs to before they can do certain things- aka only my department users can view and add stuff. be able to allow my department users to use intranet without joining (CMF requires one to join for some things) while blocking other departments- this can be differentiated with windows group memberships What I have done so far: installed jcNTUserFolder-0.2.2 but all I could list was the users on local machine that Zope was installed on (not the domain users or groups) I also tried another product which worked with jcNTUserFolder and that claimed to get NT groups also but it broke my basic zope security because it was replacing files at the root zope level (I guess it hacked the main zope security files) I am running: windows 2000 (with some NT users) zope 2.5.1 CMF 1.3b (i may chuck this though if I cannot get the authentication to work well) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Products, how-tos, code examples... Sean
