[Zope] HELP: can't get Admin logon to work!!!

[Robert Geiger]

Thank you for your very helpful replies.  I got it working and have no idea
what I must have kept doing wrong.  Something about the encrypt method must
be 'challenged' as I kept trying CRYPT.  Only one I did not try was SHA.
Thanks again.

To ensure that you are setting the password correctly, and that zope is
reading
it correctly, you can edit the access file directly, and leave the password
in
clear text.  Once everythng is working, then use zpasswd.py to encrypt it
properly.

Just put
superuser:123 in the first line of the access file, and then log in as
superuser
with password 123. Once that works, do

python zpasswd.py -u superuser -p 123 access

Make sure you compiled python with the SHA module included.  Otherwise,
add -e
CRYPT to the line.  Even then, zpasswd.py might require sha to run,
regardless
of whether it is used.
