Hello,
is it possible to set permissions, e.g. 'view', depending from the surfers domain? I need to protect files and folders from viewing by surfers outside our domains. I dont want a login screen!
Any suggestions?
One of the biggest secrets (IMHO) about Zope > 2.3.0 is buried in the doc/HISTORY.txt file: Zope 2.3.0 beta 2 Bugs Fixed - Changed the default support for "domain authentication mode" in UserFolder to be disabled by default. Domain auth mode was implemented for a very specific case long ago and causes a lot of overhead for anonymous accesses that are needless for the 99% case. People who actually want domain auth mode turned on may call a new 'setDomainAuthenticationMode' method to enable it if they wish. It's turned off by default. You need to turn it on. As a manager user, visit the URL of your acl_user folder and call its "setDomainAuthenticationMode" method: http://site/folder/acl_users/setDomainAuthenticationMode?domain_auth_mode=1 You then see the response: Domain authentication mode set to 1 Then you can restrict by IP address (using the Domains box in acl_users).
