i don't know... but: you might want to read the thread "LOTS of Roles" which has been going recently on the zope-dev mailing list. one suggestion there was to create a custom UserFolder whose Users override .getRolesInContext() with whatever code you want, thereby giving you dynamic local roles. i think you could have this overrule OR supplement the normal roles and local roles, but I haven't tried it yet. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

If it is certificate authentication you want, this may give you some pointers http://www.zope.org/Members/zhivago/SSLCertAuth/How-To_SSLCertAuth http://www.zope.org/Members/zhivago/SSLCertAuth/SSLCertAuth Stefan On Dienstag, Feb 25, 2003, at 11:39 Europe/Vienna, Antonio Beamud Montero wrote:
