My zope site was 100% password-restricted (anonymous user assigned no privileges), but now I need to make one folder at the root level accessible by anonymous login.
In the security tab of that folder, I unchecked the acquire permissions boxes of everything and checked only the "view" items. But I can't log in with a blank username/password. I get this message from verbose security:
Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: (item 0): Your user account does not have the required permission. Access to 0 of [(Application instance at 18a3760), (Folder instance at 18cfcd0)] denied. Your user account, Anonymous User, exists at /acl_users. Access requires one of the following roles: ['Manager', 'View']. Your roles in this context are ['Anonymous'].
I don't understand this error, since I'm logging in without a name or password. Shouldn't it automatically assume I'm an Anonymous User with the Anonymous role?
Yes, you *are* the anonymous user (see last sentence in error value). But something needs the "View" role (you created it, I guess, since it's not a default one). Do you have an index_html inside your folder, or is it acquired? Try to figure out what is "0" (item 0). Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL
