Hi all, I am using Zope2.3.3 & CMF1.1 with ZEO1.0b3. The CMF site was working fine all through. But suddenly, there is a problem in authenticating users. That is, whenever a method such as "portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getMemberId()" or "portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getUserName()" is invoked from a DTML method, I get the following error message. Error Type: MemberDataError Error Value: Can't find user data. Also, "portal_membership.isAnonymousUser()" returns 0. I also checked that "portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember()" returns the member. But I am surprised that I am unable to get the attributes of the member object like name or id. Has anyone faced this sort of problem? Or does anyone know under what circumstances such functions as getMemberId(), getUserName() returns an error? Thanks for any help & suggestions. This is the traceback I get.
