[Zope] User Objects?

[Jens Vagelpohl]

jim,

i was just playing around with it a little and i noticed that if you give 
the python script a proxy role 'Manager' the code will work and you can 
successfully user getUserDN. at this point i am not sure why it pops up an 
authentication box even if the current user does have 'Manager' role.

another workaround for right now might be to use an external method.
