[Zope] userdb: popup widow when auth fail [Q]

[Bruno Mattarollo]

Hello...

	I am a site where I use UserDB (with cookie-authentication) to validate users.

	I have a folder where I placed an index_html file that contains something like this:

<dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()=='Anonymous User'">

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setBase('http://izote.infosys.com.ar/Zope/research/acl_users')">
<dtml-with acl_users>
     <dtml-var docLogin>
</dtml-with>


<dtml-else>

... [ the document goes here ] ...


I have tryied setting up the permissions on the "research" folder and unchecked the "Acquire permissions" from the "security tab" for the "Access content", "FTP Access" and "View". I have two local roles "Member" and "Client", I checked the combos for this two roles. I also selected the "Manager" role in the "proxy" tab of the docLogin DTML from the UserDB acl_users folder. When I try to access the URL http://izote.infosys.com.ar/Zope/research/ I get the following traceback:

<!--

What I am doing wrong? If I don't uncheck all the "Acquire permissions" from the security tab of the folder I can use the login, because I am doing the "dtml-if" statement on the DTML-document, but I presume that's not the way it's suposed to work. My docLogin file uses the <dtml-var standar_html_header> tags, that's why I put the "proxy" role.

The problem that's annoying me, and that's why I am asking this question, is that with my method (the dtml-if in the index_html) whenever a user put's a wrong user/password, he/she gets the pop-up window prompting for user/password. I do not want that to happen.

Can someone give me a hint on what I am doing wrong?

TIA
