Hi, I am using Zope 2.3.2. I am trying to find a way to use LDAP (or htaccess etc) for user authentication into the zope environment. This is to use the same auth as Apache so users only log in once. (trying to re-use a hacked copy of w-agora for a forms based list (like squish-dot) but we have modified it so when posting, your login id is used for the posters id, no spoofed posts).

Anyway, it looked like LoginManager may do the trick, but after untaring it and trying to start zope, LoginManager fails. (I am untaring the source in the top level of the zope, just like other products) Here is the error message:

... cut

ImportError: No module named DynPersist

------

you'll have to install ZPatterns and a C Library called DynPersist to get LoginManager work ... you'll find aditional information on the Zope website and in the archives of the mailinglist(s) also check out the how-to's on using LoginManager with a SQL database ... ... cut

I don't know python so the errors are a little vague. Does LoginManager

work

with 2.3.2?

I am using LoginManager-0-8-8b1.tgz, zope 2.3.2, RedHat 7.1 (intel)

Is there a better way to use external authentication?

LoginManager is great!! Wolfgang
