Manager Authentication Failure: How to debug?
Hi all, I just installed the latest Zope available for Debian (2.2.1) on Potato. However, after logging in as superuser and creating the manager account, I cannot log in with that account. The logs produced (that I found) only indicate the ZServer getting the http request, but nothing on the authentication failure. How should I proceed debugging the problem?

There are generally two things that could have gone wrong here: - You didn't specify the Manager Role for the User. The list of Roles on the User manage page is _not_ the assigned list, but the possible list of Roles. Select the Manager Role from that list (the Role name will show in a contrasting colour). - You filled something in the domains field, but you don't log in from a machine that matches any of the domain masks you specified or you used the wrong format. Leave empty the first time. Let us know if you have any more problems. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ | ZopeStudio: http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeStudio -----------------------------------------------------

Duh! This _is_ what went wrong. I was following the directions given by the upcoming zope-book, and completely missed this point. Maybe the book could include this as a hint?
Let us know if you have any more problems.
I have not actually tested this yet, since the machine is off-line at home, but looks like you have identified the problem. Thank's a million.
