Am I making sense? Thanks... We have done it for an (closed to the public) e-commerce solution which could not be done with http-authentication (we have 2 user-names and one password for authentication for historical reasons) Se we needed a solution and found it as a simple solution with the standard header of all documents wich include some kind of session-management down the protected path. If the user is authenticated, the session management keeps track of it and provides useful data to all pages where it is included. If the session is timed out or a not authenticated user tries to access some pages, the session-management (a dtml-method) sends a redirect to the login-page. I can give a more detailed description on request. But at least: yes, you can do it; yes, it makes sense HTH Tino Wildenhain ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Am I making sense? Thanks... You're asking quite a reasonable question. If you use one of the alternate authentication systems (like LoginManager or Generic User Folder), you can make a login scheme that uses cookies with a custom login screen. I'm hoping to soon have a package that works with LoginManager to be a little more plug and play. The way it works is pretty straightforward. You just set the permissions such that the user would have to authenticate in order to view that data. Zope's authentication machinery will kick in, and LoginManager would then put your login screen up.

[Zope] Dynamically Picking which object to display
I'm fairly new to Zope, so this may be a dumb question, and my vocabulary could be wrong, so please bear with me. I'm in the middle of building an e-commerce solution for my company, and we're evaluating Zope (and PHP and Servlets, but that's immaterial) as the platform on which to base this solution. That doesn't necessarily mean anything other than to give you context. One of the problems I'm facing right now is how to display a particular object based on a value. For example, let's say a user tries to access www.foo.com/MyAccount/CCInfo. If the user has authenticated, I need to show him the obviously sensitive data he has requested. If he is not authenticated, however, I need to give him a login screen which, for argument's sake, is in the DTML document Login in the root folder. How would I go about doing that? Am I making sense?
