[Zope] Make Zope Web site private?

[Ben Avery]

1. drop a cookiecrumbler product in the root directory of your website.
2. create a new role in the security tab of this directory.
3. give the role whatever permissions you want anonymous users to have 
when the system is released
4. remove the anonymous user rights to everything, except the login_form 
of the cookie crumbler (and your standard_html_header / footer, if they 
live in this directory)
5. create a user with this role in the acl_users folder

then you can log in this user and view the site, but no-one else will be 
able to - they won't get past the login form.

I need to view the pages as they will appear to anonymous users, but can't risk anyone else seeing them.  The Zope server is running on a remote Linux host.

I don't have the expertise to create a special index_html to require a password, but that's something like what I would want.  I could play around with the port number, too, but that's tedious and not really a solution.
