ER: [Zope] Options for NT authentication and authorization?

[Igor Leturia]

I had the some problem about a month ago. I solved the user
authentication problem using the jcNTUserFolder product, but this
product doesn't get the NT groups as roles either. So I changed a couple
of files in my Zope installation (User.py and Role.py in folder
lib/python/AccessControl) and I got it. If you are interested in this
solution, I can send these files to you and some installation
instructions, but I don't think they would work with exUserFolder, so
you would have to use jcNTUserFolder.

By the way, I don't know if I should upload this solution to the
Zope.org website, as it is not entirely a product, but I think it could
be interesting for many people. If the Zope.org webmasters are reading
this, please tell me if you want it or not. And if you do, please give
me some instructions on how I should do this, as I have never uploaded
anything there (name of the product, folder, password, etc).

Gaia: [Zope] Options for NT authentication and authorization?


I'm looking for a way to authenticate Zope users off an NT network; on
this
count, I know I'm fine - I've used exUserFolder's smb authentication
support
without a problem - but, in that case, roles have to be mapped manually.
But I'm looking for a way to check to see if a user is in an NT group in
order to assign particular roles.  Does anyone know if there are any
user
folder products or Python libraries for doing this (determining if a
user is
a member of a group). Ideally, this would be something that could be
done on
a Unix based server authenticating off a WinNT box on the same network,
provided that such is possible...

Thoughts?
