Jim We are using GUF with SQL reasonably successfully (in fact it was me that wrote the How-To). If it is repeatedly refusing to authenticate you it could be a number of things: 1) The permissions on the object you are trying to access do not allow the user you are logging in as to view. Trace through the group permissions and group membership. 2) For some reason the username or password is wrong. Are you using the 'crypt' stuff? Check the username and password in the database directly. 3) If you are already authenticated as 'superuser' using the standard acl_users method I have seen problems. Try shutting down your web browser completely and then try again, accessing the GUF protected object as the first thing you do. 4) Check that the SQL methods are returning what you expect. Login as 'superuser' as use the 'Test' tab in the SQL methods. I hope one of these works for you. Richard (aka Hippy) On Thu, 16 Dec 1999, JB wrote:

Does anyone have any tales around getting GUF to authenticate out of a SQL connection. I've managed to get GUF setup and working. Then I went thru the How-To by 'hippy', but of course, now it doesn't work and I get no errors, reports, hiccups or rumbles. I simply get to login in, over and over again. I wondered if anyone had had some success with this and if so, could they share.

Also, while I'm on this, could anyone tell me how DC handles the Members area at Zope.org. This is exactly what I am trying to do with GUF and would happily copy the Zope site method if that info were available. In fact, I'd be happy to document the method if there were some way I could get a heads up.

Thanks jim
