[Zope] GUF-SQL and Members area

[Richard Taylor]

Jim

We are using GUF with SQL reasonably successfully (in fact it was me that wrote
the How-To). 

If it is repeatedly refusing to authenticate you it could be a number of things:

1) The permissions on the object you are trying to access do not allow the user
you are logging in as to view. Trace through the group permissions and group
membership.

2) For some reason the username or password is wrong. Are you using the 'crypt'
stuff? Check the username and password in the database directly.

3) If you are already authenticated as 'superuser' using the standard acl_users
method I have seen problems. Try shutting down your web browser completely and
then try again, accessing the GUF protected object as the first thing you do.

4) Check that the SQL methods are returning what you expect. Login as
'superuser' as use the 'Test' tab in the SQL methods.

I hope one of these works for you.

Richard (aka Hippy)
