Hi, I am using Zope 2.3.2. I am trying to find a way to use LDAP (or htaccess etc) for user authentication into the zope environment. This is to use the same auth as Apache so users only log in once. (trying to re-use a hacked copy of w-agora for a forms based list (like squish-dot) but we have modified it so when posting, your login id is used for the posters id, no spoofed posts). Anyway, it looked like LoginManager may do the trick, but after untaring it and trying to start zope, LoginManager fails. (I am untaring the source in the top level of the zope, just like other products) Here is the error message: bash-2.04$ ./start ------ 2001-06-20T15:49:01 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't import Products.LoginManager Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/tll/zope-2.3.2/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 528, in import_products (Object: string) File /usr/local/tll/zope-2.3.2/lib/python/Products/LoginManager/__init__.py, line 1, in ?

Does LoginManager work with 2.3.2? I am using LoginManager-0-8-8b1.tgz, zope 2.3.2, RedHat 7.1 (intel) Is there a better way to use external authentication? -- Peter M.
