An Access Rule doesnt let you find the authenticated user check this post a few weeks ago: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2002-September/017596.html -- Andy McKay www.agmweb.ca - Original Message - From: Tim McLaughlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Craeg K Strong [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 3:12 PM Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] How can I find out who visited a URL within my Zope Product?

Re: [Zope-dev] How can I find out who visited a URL within my ZopeProduct?
I figured out a way to do this, although it uses an unpublished method.
In my __before_publishing_traverse__ I do the following:
if not request.has_key('userId'):
#
# Get authentication information from the REQUEST, where it
# is held in encrypted form.
#
# This code is copied directly from BaseRequest.py It uses
# an unpublished method, but I see no decent alternative.
#
# CKS 10/8/2002
#
auth=request._authUserPW()
if auth:
name,password = auth
request['userId'] = name
However, others have posted some interesting alternative solutions
that don't involve using unpublished methods.. :)
My reason for needing this follows. If you don't care, hit delete now :)
We are using the Command pattern, so every user gesture becomes an
execution of a Command.
Each Command is logged. The logged Command includes the user, datetime
the command was executed, and other relevant information.
This gives us a full audit trail, undo-able commands, capability to
replay history, etc.
The act of visiting a URL is also a Command, and is logged as such.
Why? Because that way we can provide roughly similar functionality
to sending a package return receipt requested
If we send an email to a counterparty to a legal contract with a URL to
the contract, we know that they saw the contract by observing a
VisitURL Command with their user ID and the URL of the contract.
That means they read the email and clicked on the URL we sent
(or navigated to it through some other means).
My application can then automatically send notifications to others
based on the execution of the VisitURL Command.
I can send email to my group saying So and so has seen the contract
In this particular case, we are writing an invoicing application, so the moment
the client sees the invoice this way, the Net-30 clock starts ticking
If, after a reasonable period of time, we STILL haven't seen a
VisitURL Command logged, we know that the recipient either hasn't read his
mail or hasn't clicked on the URL. We can then send it to someone else or
call his boss and complain ;-)
