This is not the problem. I can authenticate and access the ZMI with no problem. The problem I am having seems to be in the permissions on an object. I don't seem to be able to make an object viewable only to 'authenticated' users. Thanks for your suggestion anyway and very swift response anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Maik Jablonski To: zope@zope.org Sent: 19/12/02 22:53 Subject: [Zope] Re: Help with Authentication and Zope 2.6 Mills Mr C P wrote:

HELP!!!

I have just upgraded one of my servers to Zope 2.6.0 and am having problems with authentication.

I have a simple requirement that one folder requires a username and password to access it's contents. I have created a single username and password (as this is all that is required) is acl_users and in the security tab of that folder on the 'view' permission, unchecked 'aquire permissions setting' and checked 'authenticated'. When I attempt to access the resource, I get prompted for a username and password three times, before it croaks with an error usually 'You are not allowed to access <something> in this context'.

This worked fine in 2.5.1. Am I missing something obvious? I know I am entering the username/password correctly as I have also tried my admin account which I use in the ZMI.
