I had this same problem on Windows using Internet Explorer. It appears that IE had some obscure bug that somehow caused this behavior. It went away when I upgraded to the latest version of IE. Try some other version of a browser, preferably the latest version, and see of that fixes it. You didn't say what system your user is running. Cheers, Tom P Jerome Alet wrote -
I'm in the following situation and can't explain it:
I've created a user in the root's acl_users folder of a fresh Zope 2.3.1beta2 installation.
this user has an "almost" manager local role in a sub-sub folder of the root one, but no role anywhere else.
If I login as this user from home or at work, respectively under Debian Potato with Netscape 4.75 and 4.76, then it works fine and the management screens are shown to me.
If I tell the real user to try to connect as this Zope user from his home, then only the top and left management frames are shown to him correctly: the right frame shows the "View" of the folder, not its contents.
What I can't explain is that in both situations we log in using the very same username and password, but the result is different for him. On a screenshot he sent to me, the top frame shows the good username, and when I personnally lo in with this username the top frame shows it is correct (anbd the same) too.
Since I've created the folder as the manager (admin account) of the whole Zope installation, is it possible that Netscape caches my authentification information, which isn't cached for him because he never logs in as admin ? I must say that he and I have quitted and relaunched Netscape several times during several days, but the problem persists.
Unfortunately I don't know his Netscape's version, and we can't try IE.
Could this be related to cookies, javascript or proxy cache settings ?
