It would be helpful if you could be more specific about the problem platforms. Have you tried to use Netscape on Windows? If that works fine, then you can eliminate Windows from the problem and concentrate on Internet Explorer issues. If Netscape and Mozilla on Windows won't work, then might I suggest that you try to find out which versions of Windows are involved. Note, I've been able to handle Zope authentication using Win95/98/NT/2k without problems (in many cases using either Netscape and/or Internet Explorer). While I'm not a big fan of Microsoft, I am hard pressed to think that this is an IE problem (without more information). Cheers, Ron

Synopsis: only windows users are getting a 500 error when they should get a login screen!

I'm running a zope site and using the (deprecated but easy) Generic User Folder for cookie mode login (although that product may not be the issue).

Many (all?) users from explorer on windows currently get a 500 Server Error when they get to a page that needs authentication. Users from any "normal" OS like linux or MacOS (9 or X) using either netscape, explorer or mozilla get a nice normal login screen.

How is it possible the only windows users are getting the 500 error screen and might anybody have a hint re. how to fix this? There is nothing interesting in the logs.

If you want to see this for yourself, it's visible at: http://www.mudcritters.com (it's a not-for profit kids gaming site that's suppoed to sneak them educational material.)

Thanks, Greg
