[Zope-dev] Scheduler product, anyone?

[Jens Vagelpohl]

hi robin,

it is true, the current version of xmlrpclib doesn't do authentication.

amos latteier wrote a howto on using zope as an xml-rpc server and he was
put up a patch for xmlrpclib that will let you use authentication:

http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/XML-RPC

that should at least point you in the right direction.
