I see that ZEO supports a simple digest authenitcation of clients and that this is set in the zeo's config file with the keys: authentication-protocol, authentication-database and authentication-realm.

Further, I can see that a client can connect using e.g. ZEO.ClientStorage with arguments for a userid & password (set in the ZEO authentication database). However, how does one configure Zope (as a client to the ZEO server) to use this authentication? I see nothing in the Zope config file. Somehow Zope must be able to pass a valid userid and password in the authentication database to ZEO.

Hi Dave, this might help, although it's not written by me so I'm not 100% sure that I've picked up everything: small patch to lib/python/ZODB: --- config.py (revision 37730) +++ config.py (working copy) @@ -150,7 +150,10 @@ max_disconnect_poll=self.config.max_disconnect_poll, wait=self.config.wait, read_only=self.config.read_only, - read_only_fallback=self.config.read_only_fallback) + read_only_fallback=self.config.read_only_fallback, + username=self.config.username, + password=self.config.password, + realm=self.config.realm) class BDBStorage(BaseConfig): Index: component.xml =================================================================== --- component.xml (revision 37730) +++ component.xml (working copy) @@ -132,6 +132,16 @@ read_only_fallback should be true. </description> </key> + <key name="username" required="no"> + <description> + The authentication username of the server. + </description> + </key> + <key name="password" required="no"> + <description> + The authentication password of the server. + </description> + </key> <key name="realm" required="no"> <description> The authentication realm of the server.
