What I would like to do is create a specific set of users who will be redirected to specific subfolders according to the login and password they provide, starting from a main portal. I've tried with the acl_user system, but I don't seem to be able to get it right. I'm getting confused with the differences in authorisation, permission, etc. I'm only concerned with people actually accessing (viewing) the specific parts of a site. Can somebody point me into a starting direction here? Not trivial...
You can send them to a (protected) Python Script (maybe one that bind "traversal_subpath"). The Python Script looks at the user (his roles) and redirects as necessary. This is good for a single entry point. If your "redirection" should work all over the site, you need the "traversal_subpath" binding and use some form of "restrictedTraverse" to reach the final object.
