[Zope] Installation of login_html Fails

[ktmi at earthlink.net]

In case anyone is interested, using the python code below won't copy the file unless the "View" Security permission on "login_html" is turned on for Anonymous...  Then to protect the page from other Anonymous visitors, I have to manually turn off the "View" Security settings of "login_html" after it's copied into the user folder.

What a pain, anyone got a better way with some code?

Thanks for reading!

Kevin

Subject: [Zope] Installation of login_html Fails

Greetings, All-

(thanks for all the help and tips from the list in the past...)

The setup:
I have created an internal web site that allows people in my organization to add and edit their own personal page.  The problem is in installing into their folder (containing index_html, etc.) a login script (login_html) *programatically.*

The steps:
1.  Users create their personal folder and login userid and password as Anonymous Users as a role named "Friends." An "acl_users" user folder correctly installs.
2.  A login_html method should then be automatically installed to the folder, in addition to a boilerplate "index_html" (this is installed correctly).
3.  The index_html file acquires property values and other objects from the user entered information.
4.  If the user wants to edit their page, they click "Edit," which should call "login_html."  They enter their userid and pwd and editing is permissible.

The problem is #2:
I cannot figure out what permissions to give folders/objects that will allow Zope to add the login-html file programatically.  (The above steps work perfect for the "Manager" role.)  A login screen appears that refuses to accept any userid and pwd (except my "Manager" role's), the error message is:
 "Error Type: Unauthorized
Error Value: You are not allowed to access login_html in this context

Here is the python code called to add the boilerplate login_html to the newly created folder:
****************************
     id=userid
     doc = getattr(personal_folder,id)
     copy_info = container.personnel.personnel_temp.manage_copyObjects('index_html')
     doc.manage_pasteObjects(copy_info)

     copy_info = container.personnel.personnel_temp.manage_copyObjects('login_html')
     doc.manage_pasteObjects(copy_info)
****************************

I'm stumped, tried changing every permission can think of, doesn't work.  It all works fine other than this, and I really don't want to have to add the "login_html" file manually for hundreds of users...

Hope you all can make sense of this, and much thanks in advance for any ideas!!

Kevin (relative newbie)
