This is what I would like to happen: A user goes to the site, he see the log in screen that has 2 entry fields - user name and password. The user enteres the data and presses the submit button. Now I want to take what the user entered and see if I have the same user and password defined in acl_users folder, if so I want to give him the role that that user in the acl_users folder have. And than based on that role direct him to the appropriate page
What I don't want is that the zope will pop up his login window, in essence I want to do my own authentication, validation and role assigning. I hope this clears up what I want, I was told that I need the PAS plugin but I have no idea how to use it, if there is a way to do it without PAS I would very much like to hear it. -----Original Message----- From: Lennart Regebro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2009 10:44 AM To: Dvir Bar-lev Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Zope-PAS] user login and roles On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 09:33, Dvir Bar-lev <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all. > > > > I need help please, I downloaded the pas plugin for zope but I can't find > any documentation on how to use it. > > > > What I want to do is the following: > > > > I want to define 2 roles - ISP and Parent. > > I want my site visitors to arrive to a log in page that has 2 fileds - user > name and password. > > What I want to do is to assign one of the roles above to each user based on > the user name and the password en entered in the above form and direct him > to the appropriate page, I tried to look in the internet but I can't find > any way of doing this. > > If there is a way to do it without using the pas plugin I would be happy > with that too. > > > > Please help me, I'm utterly stuck and I don't have a clue what to do. > > Tx in advance > > _______________________________________________ > Zope-PAS mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-pas > > As mentioned elsewhere, PAS is overkill for this. You can assign roles to uses with the normal user folder. -- Lennart Regebro: Pythonista, Barista, Notsotrista. http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Zope-PAS mailing list [email protected] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-pas
