After evaluating zope (building a few test websites) our state agency (Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks) is planning a pilot project to use Zope on Linux to build an intranet to integrate existing web applications/services. Currently these applications run on NT servers and were developed using Ultradev, active server pages (IIS) and MS SQL Server. We do have The Zope Book but have some startup/newbie questions: How do you setup zope/zserver to use existing NT user id/passwords to access Zope web apps so we don't have to maintain an acl-user folder with duplicate user id/passwords? Note I have reviewed postings/how to's about ntuserfolder/jcntuserfolder but I am not confident that I REALLY understand how they're used. (i.e. ntuserfolder not usable on Linux Zope?) Any advice or clarification would be much appreciated.
From Unix you need to use smbUserFolder to do this:
