[Zope] Editing ZClasses properties as ContentManager

[Jean Jordaan]

Hi Zopers,

In my ccDocClass / propertysheets / methods / edit_properties 
method, right after reindexing the changed instance like so:

  <dtml-call
"propertysheets.ccDocProperties.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)">
  <dtml-call reindex_object>

I have the following:

<FORM 
  <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('ContentManager')">
    ACTION="<dtml-var URL1>" 
  <dtml-else>
    ACTION="edit_propertiesForm" 
  </dtml-if>
    METHOD="GET">

Why do I get URL1 if I authenticate as the "superuser" (the user 
who installed Zope)? That user shouldn't have role ContentManager,
should it? Is this some kind of IE (5.5) caching hassle?

If I login as a different 'Manager' (defined in the root's acl_users
folder), I get edit_propertiesForm as I'd expect.

Another question: is there a good way to let a user login using 
only the builtin acl_users mechanism? Hmm, I think I answered my
own question: Say <a href="confirmation">Login</a> and make 
the 'confirmation' method require authentication. (Now how do 
you do that again?)

Ah well, g'night!
