I'd be willing to bet that you're not properly giving the "Manager" role to the content management user you create. You need to select "Manager" from the list of roles shown on the user creation form when you create the user. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Olaf Zanger" <olaf.zanger@soli-con.com> To: "Chris McDonough" <chrism@digicool.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 7:04 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] authentication

hi chris,

...

Have you read the "security" section of the "Zope Book" draft? It's linked from the front page of Zope.org.

absolutley i did, i read every docu i could get hands on, plus i searched google ... doesn't help

do you have any answers to my questions ?

would be of great help

...

...

i can run different versions of zope and login as superuser, setup an other user and change superuser account name and password.

unfortunately i don't get authenticated when i want to login as user. means i can do no work with content at all in zope.

is it normal that when i go to change the user password it shows a different amount of *s there?

how does the authentication work? do any files have to be at special places for authentication? do any files need any special permission for this?

my system i have it run under wwwrun:nogroup and the directory /opt/zope is root:root /opt/zope/var is wwwrun:nogroup and 755 except of files Z2.log, pcgi.soc, zProcessManager.pid that are root:root

i installed zope 2.2.2, 2.2.4, compiled a 2.2.4, used an rpm, always the same problem latest i used an installation description for suse 6.4 ... -- no help did a lot as you see

my system is a suse linux 7.0 with the update to kde2.0
