... I am trying to configure ZOPE to accept users authenticated by an Apache web server. (Mainly because I need to use a homebrew authentication service for which an Apache module is provided and maintained.) So far I have set up Apache (2.0.46) to access ZOPE (2.6.0) via FastCGI (as I couldn't get PCGI to run). The documentation in doc/WEBSERVER.txt explains how to set up Apache authentication via PCGI, but doesn't mention FastCGI in that paragraph. Is it at all possible to set up ZOPE to use remote users FastCGI? How would one do this.
You must find some way to let Apache pass a "REMOTE_USER" HTTP header to Zope. I do not know whether there is such a way and how it would work. Check the Apache documentation. I have seen an environment modifier in the "mod_rewrite" documentation but I fear, it will not make HTTP headers. -- Dieter
