Hello Jephte, I have some problems with jcNTUserFolder in conjunction with Zope-2.1.6 running under Windows 2000: I have not tested jcNTUserFolder under Windows 2000, but it should work except, I guess, if you run Windows 2000 in 'native' mode.
If a subfolder has its own NT user folder, a user, given another role within this subfolder, is forced to authenticate again and this authentication always fails. the roles given to the user in the sub-folder *replace* the roles defined in higher folders, due to the way user folders work. the user in the subfolder must have the same role as in higher folders (so he can traverse the higher folders), plus any new roles in the subfolder.
Therefore it is not possible to change user's rights within subfolders. Is this a known problem? I hope you can help me solving this problem as I need this functionality within my application. jcNTUserFolder was developped because htrd's NT User Folder has not this functionality, which I needed also.

Can you not achieve the same thing with a single user folder in the root, and applying 'Local Roles' to sub-folders? That's how I use NTUserFolder. Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com

Indeed... Poor me. If only I knew that, I would not have written jcNTUserFolder. Or maybe not: I like the fact that roles are defined from within Zope, and not through permission given on registry keys. And I am not sure (I don't remember If I tested it or not, it was several months ago) whether NTUserFolder works with IIS in remote user mode: I needed the ability to map a nt user to the super user to manage zope in remote user mode. regards, Jephte CLAIN minf7@educ.univ-reunion.fr
