Hi, <br>Iam trying to use Zope as an App server (basically to provide an XML-RPC interface) for a certain application .<br><br>I have a function called addFile in the External Method.<br><br>def ext_addfile(self):<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ob=
self.Files<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ob.manage_addFile(&quot;hello&quot;,&quot;hello&quot;)<br><br>I created an external method call ext_addFile()<br><br>Now I write my client using xml-rpc lib <br><br>s=xmlrpclib.Server(&quot;&lt;hostname&gt;&quot;)
<br>s.ext_addFile()<br><br>And this adds a file to my directory. This freaked me out. Because i was anonymous user and this shdnt happen. The next thing i did was create a python script of the same structure and called it addFile()
<br><br>ob=context.Files<br>ob.manage_addFile(&quot;hello&quot;,&quot;hello&quot;)<br><br>Now I run my&nbsp; client xml-rpc program <br>s=xmlrpclib.Server(&quot;&lt;hostname&gt;&quot;)<br>
s.addFile()<br><br>and its fiving me unauthorized as expected.<br><br>So basically i dont know why is this happening. Is this due to some permission problems i have on the directory or External Methods, or something which iam totally missing.
