platform: RH7 x86 with *all* patches + Ximian GNOME 1.2 Zope RPMS v. 2.2.4-4, 2.2.4-7 (RH7), 2.2.5-? (rawhide) rewrite rules added to httpd.conf as per instructions in documentation file: /usr/share/doc/Zope-2.2.x/README.RPM authentication to the administration interface still fails. authentication using the medusa monitor_client.py also fails unconditionally. i know i must be doing something wrong, but i've not got any experience debugging python apps in the large. w/o admin interface, zope can't do anything. can one of you folks shed some light on this?
Sure. Make sure that you change the default login/password compination using the zpasswd command. It is described in /usr/share/doc/Zope-2.2.5/README.RPM. Then, make sure that when you try to connect to the management screen that the url you use in your browser is one of the allowed domains you put in using zpasswd. I just tested it with the 2.2.5 packages, and it works fine. Tim
