I just inserted this, but got the same response.  My srm.conf file now
has the following lines:


ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) /usr/lib/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]

the last two being one long line in the file.  I then stopped and
restarted zope as follows:

asp:/etc/init.d# ./zope stop
Stopping Zope... done.
asp:/etc/init.d# ./apache stop
Stopping web server: apache.
asp:/etc/init.d# ./apache start
Starting web server: apache.
asp:/etc/init.d# ./zope start
Starting Zope...................... done.

and then tried my username and password as specified in
/var/lib/zope/access by zpasswd.py, and I get the
same "Authorization failed.  Retry?" window.

I also added the following earlier to the access.conf file, after
reading something in a howto:

#<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
#AllowOverride None
#Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
#</Directory>
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

...the commented out version is from the installation.  I think this is
from Jens SuSE bug addendum.

I apologize if I'm doing something stupid here, but I don't see it.

Thank you for your feedback.
