[re-added zope@zope.org] Please keep it on the list, Igor. I guess we need more details on your code then. There is a known issue with authentication information not being available before the end of traversal.

You should not rely on AUTHENTICATED_USER.

From DTML use _.SecurityGetUser().getUserName() From your Python product use

from AccessControl import getSecurityManager

user = getSecurityManager().getUser() name = user.getUserName()

I've tried, but the name I obtain is 'Anonymous user', which is not true, there is a user authenticated. As I said, if I try REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] in a DTMLMethod it is there, but not in the product's source code.
