Thanks for the help. Wouldn't it be a good idea to include this information somewhere in the documentation, or have I missed it? It would be even better (for me at any rate) if there was some other way to change user and/or log out. All the best Frank McNamara

I've just installed version 2.2 of Zope on my machine. How does one log out, so that one can log in again as an ordinary, i.e. not root, user?
I couldn't figure this out on the older version, but then it let me do things even as superuser.
Would be thankful for an answer sent to frank_abacus@hotmail.com

You have to close your browser. If you use IE, you need to close all IE windows. This is a "feature" of basic authentication, not zope.
Questions like this are best addressed to the zope list at zope@zope.org.
hope that helps,

Basic Authentication is part of the "architecture standards", like TCP/IP and HTML, are generally beyond the purview of zope documentation. The standard in this case is HTTP, where Basic Authentication is defined: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc2068.html There is another rfc - the next one, submitted the same month- that describes digest authentication, a vastly more intelligent scheme. However, despite the fact that Netscape and Microsoft both partook in making this RFC nearly three *years* ago, neither of the browsers support the standard. RSA's patent caused a modularization of Mozilla's crypto functions, so there is a faint hope that some enterprising soul will implement digest auth. There's a post just to that effect in this week's status update at mozilla.org.
It would be even better (for me at any rate) if there was some other way to change user and/or log out.
We definitely feel your pain: there are many authentication packages out there. LoginManager, MySQL user folder, smb User Folder, etcUserFolder and GenericUserFolder are all tools people have used to provide authentication in different ways. Hope that helps, ethan fremen

Little fix: rfc2616 obsoletes this.
