[Zope] Newbie needs help with permissions/authorization system

[Nicolas Chauvat]

Hi list,

I'm a Zope newbie that has to maintain an existing setup.

I have a base class BaseClass, and a derived class DeriveClass (supposed
to be a generic registration system, I edited the names). That's a simple
registration system that stores form info into Zope objects that can later
be viewed using a DTML method.

The process is divided in three steps:

DeriveClass_factory branches to DeriveClass_form method that displays the
form. Posting the form starts the DeriveClass_add method that creates the
DeriveClass object that has a set of RegisterInfo properties.

My problem is that everything works fine when I'm logged as a manager but
DeriveClass_add asks for login/password when I'm an anonymous user.

If I click on "Cancel", the _add method fails on manage_editProperties()

I've been running around the source/repository checking permissions,
security, etc. for hours and I can't figure out what's wrong with it.

Any help would be appreciated, feel free to flame me (and help
me!) off-list if that's a FAQ (I didn't find anything in the archive).

TIA,
