Re: [Zope] always anonymous user despite basic authentication

(notice I changed the subject line) Well, thanks to all the advice but upgrading to 2.5.1 is still showing 'Anonymous User' though I just authenticate via the browser interface.

I could change things around and create the dtml stand-alone but I use extensive use of traverse_subpath. In doing this, for some reason, I lose this REQUEST variable.

Hi Scott, Due to the way Zope does authentication, the AUTHENTICATED_USER is never checked or set until a security check is required. Make your folder / document / application / whatever require the "Authenticated" role and you should be set.
