The only problem is with my Z2.log... the zope access log. I'd like to use this to gather some statistics about which users log in most frequently etc. What's happening though is that when a user logs into the site and continues browsing through it, the z2.log keeps logging the user as "Anonymous". The only time this changes is when I use the ZMI and in that case the log lists the user as 'admin'.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
As I understand it, if an object is anonymously accessible, Zope skips the authentication / authorization process. A logged-in user might as well be anonymous unless they are looking at an object which requires authorization.
the problem here is the use of cookie based authentication. so the user info is not in the http authentication header, which is where the user in the logs come from. So you have the choice: 1. user names in the logs -> dont use cookie base authentication 2. cookie based authentication (login with forms) - >no user names in logs Ciao, Jochen -- -------------------------------------------------- Jochen Knuth WebMaster http://www.ipro.de IPRO GmbH Phone ++49-7152-93330 Steinbeisstr. 6 Fax ++49-7152-933340 71229 Leonberg EMail: J.Knuth@ipro.de
