The root of my site authenticates with an LDAPUserFolder. There is a sub-application which uses an acl_satellite (LDAPUserSatellite) to authenticate against a branch of the LDAP directory. I'd like for this sub-application to use cookie-based authentication (for a nice, unified HTML login page and ease of logging out). The CookieCrumbler product seems to want an acl_users folder in the same directory as itself, which isn't possible in this case. Is there some way to point the CookieCrumbler to the acl_satellite or some other way to accomplish this? -- - David A. Riggs <lukewarm@ultrasoul.com>

Why not? I do not see a reason. Dieter

I can only find the most minimal of documentation for the CookieCrumbler, but...I've tried renaming my acl_sattelite to acl_users and dropped a CookieCrumbler instance into the same directory (as per the README.txt). Visiting this URL still prompts me with the HTTP authentication box rather than the login_form that I expect (I've copied in the default login_form, logged_in and logged_out DTMLMethods but not touched them otherwise). Is there a decent HowTo for using the CookieCrumbler? Is there a way to make the LDAPUserSatellite use cookie auth? Am I doing something stupid to make my current setup not work? -- - David A.

Oops! Permission problem, a parent directory had restricted all access to a specific group. I granted 'View' permissions to Anonymous users and all is well. -- - David A. Riggs <lukewarm@ultrasoul.com>
