Dear users, we have a zope application on an older system running Redhat 7.2 and Zope 2.6.1 with python 2.1. Now we wish to migrate the application to latest stable relase of zope 2.9.4 with python 2.4.3 we hv installed zope 2.9.4 and imported the application through .zexp file.

Export/import is *only supported* between *identical* installations.

this application uses LDAPUserFolder for authenticating against an LDAP server. After importing the application we recreated LDAPUserFolder instance as per the instructions. Now the problem is, when we access the application the Authentication pop-up dialog is not coming up and the application is trying to search the LDAP directory for.

Anonymous user and since the user does not exist in LDAP it is returning error Error: findUser. In the old zope server basic authentication dialog pops up when we access the URL. Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem ? How to configure the application as protected resource(we are using the built-in ZServer) so that authentication dialog pops up when the URL is accessed ? any help would be greatly appreciated.

In every case you should provide reasonable version information about the installted LDAPUF versions and provide the related traceback..
