Don¹t use cookiecrumbler product in same folder as UserDB
Just a *minor* note for people here... If you're using UserDB for authentication (or I guess *any* kind of cookie based authentication), stay away from the 'CookieCrumbler' product - at least in that folder. Briefly: (1) UserDB sets authentication cookies, (2) CookieCrumbler eats authentication cookie (yum!) (3) Popup dialog for authentication rather than nice 'in the page' form appears (4) Tony looks at site and code that he *knows* works elsewhere and spends 4 hours going cross-eyed. Makes a change, Quits Netscape, starts Netscape, tries it again. GOTO (1) Astute readers will note there is no escape route from this scenario apart from enlightenment.

I didn't know UserDB could do cookie based authentication... where can I find out about it? cheers, Chris

Oh it does cookie authentication all right... A search at the Zope site should pop up... http://www.zope.org/Members/otto/userdb It's old (1999!) but it works well for us.
