Yes the client is not loggin in. (and since it will be a commandline script it is not supposed to do). If I hardcode some bogus data to be returned it works fine. But as soon as something in the catalog is searched it does not work. So the xmlrpc works. If I run the script from the browser (with default parameters) logged in as Manager it works. So the functionality works. But really searching for something through xmlrpc does not work. If I copy & paste the code in an (ZODB) Python script which I give the Authenticated proxy role it works perfect. So I suspect the conclusion is that the external method lacks that proxy role -- __ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __ ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

[Zope] proxy role for an external method
Hi, I have a working pyhton script in the ZODB that searches for members and is called by a xmlrpc client. Security is only needed based on source IP address, so Anonymous can execute it, but the script has an Authenticated proxy role. I would like to convert this script to an Exteral Method in $INSTANCE_HOME/Extensions. This basically works, but I cannot see any way to specify the proxy role. And when it is not specified the script obviously does not work. After some googling, I tried to make a .metadata file with: [default] proxy=Authenticicated But that does not seem to work... - Is the .metadata supported for external methods? - Is there another way to set proxy roles in external methods?
