I had this working before... a user fills out a form which posts to a
script which in turn creates a new user. Now, when a user is created
in acl_users and when I click on it, I get the error below... I've
tried changing the roles, moving the acl_users directory and changing
the python script, all to no avail. The Zope user stuff is becoming
really frustrating. I could use some help. Thanks in advance.

Here's the source for the python script that creates the user:


#These two lines of code are generated automatically when you create a
new script... just leave them there.

request = container.REQUEST

RESPONSE =  request.RESPONSE



#This line of code looks to see if there is already a user in the
acl_users folder...

if context.acl_users.getUser(request.form['name']):

#If it finds someone with that name, you can send the user to a page
with the following line...

   RESPONSE.redirect('index_html?user=exists')

   return


#If it doesn't find anyone, it moves to the following line which
checks to make sure the password and confirmation fields are
identical...

if request.form['password'] <<> request.form['confirm']:

#If the fields don't match, you can forward the user to another page
and tell them...

   RESPONSE.redirect('index_html?passwords=dontmatch')

   return


#If everything checks out, this next line finally adds the user...

context.acl_users.manage_users('Add', context.REQUEST)

#You can then use this last line to forward to yet another page with a
confirmation...

RESPONSE.redirect('signup2')
