I'm having a few 'weirdies' with it Phil.
I'm authenticating at the top level with the domain hack that Martijn 
described (ie AnonUser domain = *.*.*.*). At a level below I 
authenticate Newcastle User (NclUser, domain = *.ncl.ac.uk). This 
works fine. However, I also authenticate against a UserDB object for 
people who need to upload objects. I find that methods at the top 
level get the NclUser authentication rather than the 'tone' 
authentication that UserDB provides. At least that's what I *think* 
is happening...

I don't have a workaround I'm afraid. My long term goal is to have 
everyone authenticate against UserDB.
