...

I've tried using cookie authentication with UserDB but so far can not get it to work. Everytime I try to login in it presents me with the normal basic authentication header. I believe this maybe something to do with permissions but so far can't figure it out. I am using IIS4 and have turned of basic authentication.

The first thing to do here is to make sure that it is really Zope causing the authentication challenge, or if it is IIS4. You need to have _all_ authentication off in IIS and permissions set to allow "everybody" to run the zope cgi.

Can you log into Zope using the superuser name and password?

I can log in using the superuser password but any other user gets rejected. Restarting the browser makes no difference.

If not, then IIS is attempting to handle authentication itself...
