Disclaimer: I have read 3 months worth of mailing list archives to no avail. Any help on the following problem will be much appreciated. I am trying to configure mod_rewrite to pass authentication information to Zope. Here is the current state of things: Relevant section from httpd.conf: --------------------------------- <Directory "/"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all # allows Apache to pass authentication headers to zope RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/(.*) $1 [ENV=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1] </Directory> RewriteLog /var/log/apache/rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 9 Zope.cgi -------- #!/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/pcgi/pcgi-wrapper PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_MODULE_PATH=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/lib/python/Zope PCGI_PUBLISHER=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=/opt/bin/python PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/var/pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/var/pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/var/pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/Zope.cgi BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=/export/opt1/zope-2.0.1 Some other information ---------------------- Zope-2.0.1 is installed into /export/opt1/zope-2.0.1/. Web server document root is in /export/www, with HTML and cgi's in /export/www/{docs,cgi-bin}, respectively. After starting ZServer with pcgi enabled, I can connect to http://my.server.name:8080/manage and enter in the superuser name and password. This works perfectly which means that Zope is correctly configured to handle authentication of the superuser. If I shutdown ZServer and go to http://my.server.name/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi, I get the "Welcome to Zope" screen. However, if I try to enter http://my.server.name/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage with the same superuser name and password, I'm denied access. This leads me to believe that the problem is with Apache passing off the authentication duties to Zope. If you need more information, please let me know. My head's sore from banging it up against the wall in my office =) Thanks in advance. Regards, Erick Mechler
