You should verify that you do indeed have duplicate keys.
In html you cannot see the spaces first and last in the keys.
<span> someid</someid>
will look exactly the same as
<span>someid</someid>
in a browser.
If you choose view source you should be able to determine if it is
indeed so.
I don't believe that The BTreeFolder makes duplicate keys, but the other
problem is very likely. And one I have made myself from time to time,
when forgetting to do an "id.strip()"</I></FONT></PRE>

Hi,<BR>
<BR>
That's right and I was quite stupid !!!<BR>
By BTreeFolder2 just had false duplicated keys because of these extra spaces invisible in my HTML page...<BR>
<BR>
In fact, the origin of the problem is my LDAP server, which accept authentication even when the user ID includes spaces !!<BR>
I just thought that this shouldn't be !! Using a simple "strip" nearly solved my problem... <BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>

P.S. : I said that my problem was nearly solved because each user profile is private, so the user identified with the user id " tflorac" can't access the profile called "tflorac". Is there any way to alter the user authentication name ??<BR>
