Is there an updated version or product similar to jcNTUserFolder (allowing NT authenitcation in Zope) that works in Zope 2.2.x? Or am I going to have to upgrade jcNTUserFolder? TIA. -- Andy McKay, Developer. ActiveState.

Both jcNTUserFolder and NTUserFolder (Which I maintain, and from which jcNTUserFolder forked) do not fully integrate with 2.2's security machinery. Tackling this deficiency is on my to-do list too, but I wont be upset if someone else does the work first. API changes in 2.2 (and future developments, like PTK) make custom user folders less attractive than they used to be. If you intend committing some time to this then I recommend something based on http://www.zope.org/Members/tsarna/LoginManager The simplest change would be to transplant the authentication code out of (jc)NTUserFolder and into LoginManager methods. However that would still only run on NT. A solution that runs on linux and solaris only is oulined at http://www.zope.org/Members/tseaver/LoginManager_and_SMB. My ideal solution (that I still hope to find time for) would be to do whatever is needed to get this option running on NT and 95 too. I hope this is of some help.

A custom user folder to me always seems a bad idea, a merging of the two would make the most sense to me. Being totally selfish Im only interested in NT... I'm currently looking for a way around this, if not I might be in touch. Cheers. -- Andy McKay, Developer. ActiveState.

Important: After you get authentication working the way you want it, you'll have to fix your LoginManager to integrate with the existing local roles machinery. Here's a link to help you out: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk/2000-September/001739.html HTH, Michael Bernstein.
