[Zope] User management messed up?

| Hello everybody,
| 
| a few days we migrated from Zope 2.7.0 to Zope 2.9.0 (ok, the
| up-to-date version is 2.9.4, but we had this version compiled some
| time ago and now finaly migrated the DB), and now we are experiencing
| problems with our user management. To migrate the DB I just exported
| everything from the old zope instance and importet it again into the
| new Zope Instance, Products and Extensions were just copied from the
| old to the new instance. Everything, except user management, works
| quite fine, only the Localizer-Product had to be replaced by a newer
| version.
| 
| We have a subfolder 'z' where we have an exUserFolder that imports
| users from a MySQL DB, below this subfolder 'z' there is anotherfolder
| 'y' (t.m. <root>/z/y), and the users in the exUserFolder in 'z' have
| the rights to access the folder 'y'. When I now give an additional
| right to 'Anonymous' within folder 'y', folder 'y' cannot be accessed
| anymore by the users defined in the exUserFolder.
| 
| Another problem is that creating User Folders and users within these
| folders does not work properly any more, t.m. such folders and users
| can be created but the particular user cannot login although they
| should have proper permissions.
| 
| I have no clue by what these problems are caused. I would be very
| grateful if someone could give me a hint. Could this problem be
| related to a wrong apache configuration? Is it possible that the DB
| got messed up when I imported it into 2.9.0? Or may incompatibilities
| of a special Product with 2.9.0 cause these troubles?

What version of XUF are you using?

I'm using XUF under 2.9.x without any problems.

Also how did you add rights for Anonymous? Did you accidently remove
permissions for Authenticated or other Roles?
