[Zope] pcgi + apache + manage authentication

[Paul Dwerryhouse]

Hi all,

I've got Zope going with PCGI using Apache, and I'm having trouble with
authentication on the _management_ pages.

Now, it all works fine with the superuser (I'm making use of the REMOTE_USER
env variable, because I want Apache to handle all the password files) on
all screens (including management screens), and it fine for normal users
on document screens. But when a user goes to the management pages for a
directory for which they have permission to manage, Zope pops up a box asking 
for user/password with an 'unknown' realm (as opposed to the "Zope-realm" 
that I've set up in Apache's config files). And it always fails, correct 
password or not.

Why isn't Zope accepting the REMOTE_USER variable for the management screens?

Using Zope 1.10.2 with Apache 1.3.6, under Linux (Debian)...

Ta...

Paul.
