kedai,
To my understanding, once a user is authenticated the AUTHENTICATED_USER object is available everywhere the user goes.
I hope I'm right as my new site depends on it, ;¬)
This is true for cookie based authentication such as in UserDB however it is NOT true for basic authentication (ie normal acl_user folder). Basic authentication will only send authentication info when an area is restricted. ie any areas that an anonymous user can view will have AUTHENTICATED_USER set to "Anonymous User". There is nothing that can be done about this unless you resort to cookies or someother user session method (a BIG gap missing in Zope).

Sture,
Have a look at http://d031.ml.uwcm.ac.uk/z/zGold.
It's something I made as a demo for a conference I attended.
There is a downloadable version that you can use to see how I did what I did.
HTH
Phil phil@philh.org hi phil, i downloaded zGold and experimented/dig into the zope mine ( well, it is to me).
however, i can't decide how i can bring the authenticated_name along everywhere i go. tried setting a cookie, but can't decide how to pass the cookie as the AUTHENTICATED_USER.name across other path; ie when accessing other folders not in the zGold folders.
pointers? docs? thanks
