User management messed up?
Hello everybody, a few days we migrated from Zope 2.7.0 to Zope 2.9.0 (ok, the up-to-date version is 2.9.4, but we had this version compiled some time ago and now finaly migrated the DB), and now we are experiencing problems with our user management. To migrate the DB I just exported everything from the old zope instance and importet it again into the new Zope Instance, Products and Extensions were just copied from the old to the new instance. Everything, except user management, works quite fine, only the Localizer-Product had to be replaced by a newer version. We have a subfolder 'z' where we have an exUserFolder that imports users from a MySQL DB, below this subfolder 'z' there is anotherfolder 'y' (t.m. <root>/z/y), and the users in the exUserFolder in 'z' have the rights to access the folder 'y'. When I now give an additional right to 'Anonymous' within folder 'y', folder 'y' cannot be accessed anymore by the users defined in the exUserFolder. Another problem is that creating User Folders and users within these folders does not work properly any more, t.m. such folders and users can be created but the particular user cannot login although they should have proper permissions. I have no clue by what these problems are caused. I would be very grateful if someone could give me a hint. Could this problem be related to a wrong apache configuration? Is it possible that the DB got messed up when I imported it into 2.9.0? Or may incompatibilities of a special Product with 2.9.0 cause these troubles? Thanks in advance, Fabian

Also how did you add rights for Anonymous? Did you accidently remove permissions for Authenticated or other Roles? -- Andrew Milton akm@theinternet.com.au
What version of XUF are you using?
a pretty old one: exUserFolder-0-10-10
I'm using XUF under 2.9.x without any problems.
well, I'm not even sure if XUF is causing the problems or maybe something else, that is the main reason for my post
Also how did you add rights for Anonymous? Did you accidently remove permissions for Authenticated or other Roles?
well in the security tab of folder 'y' I explicitly added a permission for role Anonymous. When I undo this change again (via the undo tab), the users defined in the XUF can access folder 'y' again. Ciao, Fabian

Turning on verbose-security (and setting the associated "security-policy-implementation python") in zope.conf may provide some clues. Jonathan

thanks for the hint - apparently some checkmarks were missing for 'Authenticated' now the problem seems to be solved Ciao, Fabian

Usually, it is easier to just copy the "Data.fs" (rather than exporting, then importing). -- Dieter
