sorry for the top post... just as a thought, are you using a local group or a domain group? (zope-gurus, please help)... maybe one is faster than the other? ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Myllymaki To: Bobb Cc: Chris Withers ; zope@zope.org Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 11:46 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] NT User Authentication the PDC and zopeserver are on the same switch. <what I know of the internal workings of the Zope security scheme can fit in a small dixie cup > I had to do a little hacking to get the NT Groups to act as local security roles in Zope, and while doing that, I noticd that the getRoles() method in AccessControl/Users.py is used for every object on a page. Combined with a fairly slow lookup to begin with, and complex pages are VERY slow. There must be a good reason for this, but I would have thought the users' role info would have been cached at a higher level somehow... </what I know of the internal workings of the Zope security scheme can fit in a small dixie cup > Bobb wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Withers" <chris@simplistix.co.uk> To: <erik.myllymaki@aviawest.com> Cc: "Bobb" <rawbobb@hotmail.com>; <zope@zope.org> Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 4:27 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] NT User Authentication Erik Myllymaki wrote: the zope instance is running on a win2k server, but I need to authenticate against an NT Domain. I did get things going last night, to a point where my NT Groups are acting as Local Roles, and I can authenticate to my PDC, but it is really, really slow. how far away (hops) is the PDC? is there a BDC closer? Time to do some analysis really. Sounds like you needs some caching at crucial points... What userfolder are you using?
