Ah...not quite as simple as that. It would let me login OK but when I logged out it presented me with some openid screens. So - on a hunch - from the Zope management Interface I clicked the "find" tab and typed in "openid". This returned one link "XXXX/acl_users/openid (OpenId authentication plugin) " which I then clicked. This bought up a screen which enabled me to "untick" AUTHENTICATION, EXTRACTION and USER_ENUMERATION - apparently, these were the services that openid was providing - ...the thinking here was if openid is not providing these services then it won't, er, provide the services and so won't give me any unwanted screens to fill in...and "hey tesco!" no nasty openid stuff anymore. Yay.
But, it's got to be simpler than that (openid was still an installed add-on so I should really remove it in some way). So...after some more research (OK, random button clicking) I stumbled across the "SITE SETUP" screen which I think is what I wanted in the first place...here I clicked Add-ons and de-activated openid and now everything seems peachy. I'm thinking that this may be a better way to de-install things cleanly without leaving artefacts behind. I'm thinking that If I had just de-activated openid from site-setup WITHOUT "unticking" it's services then maybe ZOPE/Plone may have ended up in a state of "confusement". Still, lots more to learn but I am encouraged by the USABILITY of plone 4.2 (starting today I have now started to upload files and create folders and it seems easy to learn from an end-user perspective). If anyone could provide an officially recognized way of removing add-ons without any buggerization then I would be very interested.
