This is a problem that has dogged us for ages, and this is probably the third time we've asked for help here. Basically, new users added to specific folders within Zope (via the acl_users folder) cannot login to the system. The only account that seems to work fine is the one for the 'admin' user. The most annoying thing about this is that it *did* work when we first installed Zope, but somewhere down the line it stopped. This has happened on two different servers with two different operating systems (Sun SOlaris and now Linux) and two different versions of Zope (2.4.1 and 2.4.3). It's a fairly serious problem if we want to use Zope to handle our main web site in the future. Anyone had this and solved it? Does v2.5 have this as well? Richard H.
This will be a tough problem to solve without a better description of what is going wrong. - Usually, when I get authorization-type errors, "cancelling" the auth dialog will tell me exactly what object is causing the authentication problem. This would help a lot. - Are these problems happening in an area of your site which uses third-party products? Products that you made? Maybe your permissions are wrong? - Are the acl_users folders arranged properly? Attempting to access /folder1/index_html will only work if the user is defined in /folder1/acl_users or /acl_users ... - Have you modified "View" permissions for objects you are trying to access? - You could try setting all permissions for Anonymous and then turning them off one-by-one until it breaks (slow and painful, but could be a last resort) Just a few suggestions ... Please write back with a traceback after cancelling the authentication dialog. Ziniti Richard Hewison wrote:

It's a fairly serious problem if we want to use Zope to handle our main web site in the future. Anyone had this and solved it? Does v2.5 have this as well? I saw recently something which might be similar:
All of a sudden, some "acl_users" objects went away. Of course, login via these formerly existing user folders were no longer possible. Restarting Zope solved the problem for some days. Then, the "acl_users" disappeared again. Upgrading to Zope 2.5 *AND* Python 2.1.2 solved the problem... It was almost surely caused by the known memory corruption problems in Zope 2.4.x (with 1 <= x <= 3) and Python 2.1.1. Dieter

Well, this has happened to us in the last week (acl_user objects vanishing) but it isn't the problem we've been experiencing for months. The object usually still exists, but Zope just refuses to accept them as genuine users when you try and login as them. However, an upgrade to 2.5 and to the more recent Python sounds like a good idea regardless. Richard H.
