May me etcUserFolder is for Zope. not for Plone?? Is there any plugin to do authentication from the /etc/password file?? Thanks vinita vigine MURUGIAH wrote:

Hello I just installed zope & plone. zope - ver 2.7.3 cmf - 1.5.0 plone 2.0.4 python 2.3.4 etcUserFolder - 1.2.0

I created a folder (auth/) in plone (csse/), and used etcUserFolder to validate users. Who ever I have in the password file I can see them under /csse/auth/acl_users (not editable mode), so far so good. Default role - tech (I defined it earlier) Authentication type standard basic

I created a index.html file under folder auth/ and I did the following changes in the auth/ security 1) unchecked acquire for permission view 2) checked view permission for role tech

so that when you try to view the the index.html it's ask for authentication, but it keep failing!!!

Any help PLEASE!!

thanks
