[Zope] user not authenticating

[Timothy Wilson]

Hi everyone,

I've got a system whereby a person has to have a username and password to
submit a news item. Later, when that person is viewing the homepage, any
news items that they've submitted are supposed to display an "edit" button
that they can use to, you guessed it, edit the item. This works perfectly
for me as manager.

The weird thing is that when I go the the submission page, I get
challenged for a password, I put in the name and password of one of the
non-Manager users, type the article, publish it, but no cool "Edit"
button. I put a <dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER> tag in the article body to
try to see who Zope thinks I am and found that AUTHENTICATED_USER is still
Anonymous even when I've successfully entered a password to submit the
article. Am I making sense? (It's getting late.) So it seems I'm
authenticating enough to submit an article but AUTHENTICATED_USER isn't
being changed.

What am I missing?

-Tim
