That may be the problem, as I'm trying to do it in the _init_ . So what can I do to fix it? Igor

Please keep it on the list, Igor.

I guess we need more details on your code then. There is a known issue with authentication information not being available before the end of traversal.

See e.g. here <http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2002-September/017596.html>

You should not rely on AUTHENTICATED_USER.

From DTML use _.SecurityGetUser().getUserName() From your Python product use

from AccessControl import getSecurityManager

user = getSecurityManager().getUser() name = user.getUserName()

I've tried, but the name I obtain is 'Anonymous user', which is not true, there is a user authenticated. As I said, if I try REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] in a DTMLMethod it is there, but not in the product's source code.
