[Zope] Zope and Apache (Authentication)

[Cobalt maillinglist]

Hi!

I'm using zope 2.0 with apache 1.3.6.
I can't get the authentication to work. I can access the normal
directories, but not manage.

I have configured the Rewrite rules in my apache .conf-files. Apache sets
the following env-variable: (from rewrite log)

195.10.177.75 - - [02/Sep/1999:19:26:47 +0300]
[www2.micasolutions.fi/sid#80c6f7c][rid#80d562c/initial] (5) setting env
variable 'HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION' to 'Basic bWljYTpib3l6Mm1lbg=='       

I'm using the following rewrite-rules:

<Directory /home/httpd/html> 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) 
RewriteRule ^Zope/(.*) /cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1 
[E=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,T=application/x-httpd-cgi,L]

...
</Directory>

ExecCGI is on and Zope.cgi is executable.

How does Zope access the password/user information from the HTTP_CGI_AUTH
variable, because it's crypted and it doesn't match the password in zope's
access?
