I have a UserDb at the top level of my Zope Project, and I have UserDb set to Cookie Mode for authentication. However, I keep getting Server type authentication requests, that always fail, even if I use the superuser username and password that are specified in the access file. In reality I've been locked out of my project. Not to be phased though I have a work around that allows the UserDb authentication to work (2.0.0b6) If you change line 469 of lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py from md.validate=self.validate to md.validate=None Then UserDb authentication will take place instead of the bogus standard type which doesn't exist. I don't understand why the self.validate is not referencing the correct validation model. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | Milton ACN: 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 |72 Col .Sig PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|Specialist
