Thanks for the info. When we got thinking about it, we determined that issue with the new Session stuff. The odd thing with SQLSession is that it would force two logins and sometimes several hard refreshes to keep the data from the session; or get it to display on the page. Logout by clearing the session still allowed one to go right back to the page and get the data back. I tried putting all the SQLSessioning parts in the standard_header. When any page loaded, it verifies they are logged in and sets a few REQUEST variables used by the rest of the page and does a database pull to get other data. If I logged in, it said, "OK, you are logged in..." Then when you clicked to go to the next page, the login link appeared meaning the session variable for the user was not found. Login again...and it would stick. Click a link to pull some database data based on that user id and you would have to login again. Back and forth. So, for now, I just switched to using Zope users and pulling the database stuff based on that and their role. Works well for now. One thing I liked (and have as a requirement for this project) is the ability of a new user to create an account. I have not done this programmatically with DTML but would like to. Anyone care to offer any pointers?? Thanks Allen -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Baxter [mailto:anthony@interlink.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 12:17 AM To: Schmidt, Allen J.

"Schmidt, Allen J." wrote We have been using SQLSession for a while and its been working well but we feel there may be issues with Squid and ZEO and many ZEO clients on different boxes. And, se figured since the new Sessioning stuff is built in, maybe now is a good time to switch.

FWIW, we use SQLSession in a ZEO/frontend loadbalancer setup, and have seen zero problems. Note that if you use the standard session stuff with a RAM based storage, the storage won't be shared between ZEO clients.
