I have an installation of Zope as PCGI using Apache to communicate using SSL connections. When Apache starts a CGI (and PCGI) programs, it sets many SSL environment variables, including e-mail and user id. I would like to use this kind of information to automaticaly authenticate the user, without requesting user name and password. Has anybody tried to do something like this?
If its setting the REMOTE_USER environment variable, then Zope does this out of the box with a little configuration - see doc/WEBSERVER.txt in your Zope installation (search for 'Zope authentication with existing web servers') -- Stuart Bishop Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au Computer Science, RMIT University
