Below is a post from a user who needs very similar things I do. I feel =
I am exactly in the same boat he is. I want to use Zope to develop an =
Intranet. Our network is Win 2000 based and it's easy to develop with =
IIS/ASP and then integrate the authentication of your windows users. =
Since I found Zope, I have fallen in love with it. It's just way to =
cool! BUT... I cant get the authentication to work with anything but =
the built in user folders. =20
Right now, my users can simply open a link on our Intranet sites, and my =
ASP scripts can determine who they are. I then can use this username to =
insert into a database or other functions, like printing it on the web =
page. With Zope, I have to maintain another set of users AND they have =
to enter a username and password to do the same thing I can do in =
IIS/ASP.
I have tried the same things Sean has. I can see the users, but the =
authentication wont work. I have tried setting up pcgi through IIS, and =
letting IIS authenticate me. This would be wonderful if it worked. I =
can see the initial index_html under the server root. But anything else =
cannot be retrieved.
So, if anyone has any help or could point me(and Sean) in the right =
direction, please do so!=20
I appreciate any you may have. Thanks!

Hi,
I have posted a few messages about windows domain level security and =
zope.
I have gotten maybe one no-so-helpful response. I don't know if people
don't know or I am forming my question wrong. Here goes another try.
background:
I am somewhat familiar with basic zope use and canned product installs =
with
good docs but no guru and not familiar with python
I want to:
build a zope intranet which checks to see what windows group someone
belongs to before they can do certain things- aka only my department =
users
can view and add stuff. =20
be able to allow my department users to use intranet without joining =
(CMF
requires one to join for some things) while blocking other departments- =
this
can be differentiated with windows group memberships
What I have done so far:
installed jcNTUserFolder-0.2.2=20
but all I could list was the users on local machine that Zope was =
installed
on (not the domain users or groups)
I also tried another product which worked with jcNTUserFolder and that
claimed to get NT groups also but it broke my basic zope security =
because it
was replacing files at the root zope level (I guess it hacked the main =
zope
security files)=20
I am running:
windows 2000 (with some NT users)
zope 2.5.1
CMF 1.3b (i may chuck this though if I cannot get the authentication to =
work
well)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Products, how-tos, code =
examples...
