Greetings! Something really weird is happening with my Zope application. Since I wanted to develop a kind of authentication process to validate the access to each DTML document, I just created a python script that is called at the beginning of each document. The only thing this script does it to check if a certain session variable exists and if it a consistent value. If so, then the script does nothing more and returns to the DTML doc. If not it cause a redirection to a login page. Something like that: General DTML document: --------------------- <dtml-call expr="pyscripts.pyCheckLogin()"> <dtml-var standard_html_header> (...) <dtml-var standard_html_footer> This worked properly when I ran Zope behind IIS. Now that I transferred my Zope application to another server, this authentication philosophy stopped working and the only thing that changed is that Zope is no longer running behind IIS but behind Apache 2.0. I've exhaustedly debugged the code and this what happens: - As far as what it is concerned with the Python Script itself, everything seems to work properly; so when redirection is needed the python script executes it (or at least it tries - see next comment); - No matter what happens with the Python script (redirection or just return), the control will always return to the DTML doc which didn't happen while Zope ran behind IIS. Now... I've managed to detour this problem by changing the general structure of each DTML doc to the following: <dtml-if expr="pyscripts.pyCheckLogin()"> <dtml-var standard_html_header> (...) <dtml-var standard_html_footer> </dtml-if> Which means I also change the script to return 1 when authentication is valid and O when it's not (redirection). Still, this intrigues me a lot since there should be a similar behaviour no matter what Web Server Zope is running behind. Any suggestion to enlighten me on this X-File? thanks in advance, Vitor Varalonga
