I hard-coded a check that the source IP must be the specific internal address of the server Zope runs on. That way I know that the functions can't be called from the outside. This is all extremely fragile and generally not a good idea.

[Zope] Zope2 and XMLRPC methods
Hi, I'm having some trouble getting XML-RPC methods going on Zope2/Five. I've got the following in my configure.zcml: configure xmlns=http://namespaces.zope.org/zope; xmlns:browser=http://namespaces.zope.org/browser; xmlns:five=http://namespaces.zope.org/five; xmlns:xmlrpc=http://namespaces.zope.org/xmlrpc; include package=zope.app.publisher.xmlrpc file=meta.zcml / include package=zope.app.security file=meta.zcml / xmlrpc:view for=MZCore.interface.IMZTag methods=smeg class=MZCore.MZTag.MZTag.MZTagXmlRpcInterface permission=zope.Public / /configure and MZTag.py has the following in it: from zope.app.publisher.xmlrpc import XMLRPCView class MZTagXmlRpcInterface(XMLRPCView): def smeg(self): something return 'hello!' But when I try to access the method via XML-RPC as follows (where aaa is and object that implements IMZTag) s = ServerProxy('http://admin:ad...@192.168.69.135:9673/aaa') s.smeg() I get an error back saying Cannot locate object at: http://192.168.69.135:9673/aaa/smeg; I'm at a loss now as what to try next. If I change the method name in either the configure.zcml or python files I get an error back saying that the method cannot be found when the .zcml file is parsed so I know it is being included. Does anyone have any ideas?

Bill Thanks for the suggestion but that is what I'm doing at the moment when trying to access the method. I can access methods published through a Plone page on the same server instance without any problems. The problem seems to be that the XML-RPC method isn't being published or bound to the IMZTag interface for some reason.

[Zope-dev] Single Sign On
I'm working with a customer on a single sign on (SSO) system for Zope. We haven't yet chosen which SSO system we want to use. I would like to hear from anyone who has set up SSO with Zope. We have some definite requirements: * We can't accept arbitrary identities like OpenID normally does. We need to set up our own identity provider (IDP) and force our servers to accept only identities provided by our own IDP. * The SSO process should be very similar to an ordinary cookie-based login process. I don't want the user to have to enter their username on one form and their password on another, but that's the standard OpenID process. * This will be implemented in Zope 3. We are considering OpenID, Shibboleth, CAS, and any other mature system that others might suggest. Shibboleth seems like the most obvious fit, but it's nowhere near as popular as OpenID. I haven't yet looked at CAS in detail. Alternatively, I have wondered if we actually need full-blown SSO; perhaps a carefully constructed domain-wide cookie would do the trick. Any experiences with that? Thanks to anyone who participates.

Re: [Zope-DB] [Zope] Stored Procedures Versus ZSQL Methods
No, ZSQL really predates bind variables. That is, they we available on a few systems, but were rare. If the Oracle specialist has a reason for going to external methods, like his server is seriously loaded, I would pay attention to him. If he is just following some set of best practices, well, that is a political problem for Remy. Using external methods will be more work for the zope writer. I don't know enough to comment seriously on security issues, but I think that using procedures, like using bind variables, will make SQL Injection much harder.
