[Zope] Force "login"/authentication?

[Kevin Dangoor]

Off the top of my head, you could make a DTML Method and set the "View"
permission to Manager (instead of anonymous or acquire permissions). Then,
when you create a link to this method, the user will have to authenticate.

This is untested, but the method could probably be something like this:

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(HTTP_REFERRER)">

(or maybe it would have to be:
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('HTTP_REFERRER')">

Another option would be to link to the method via a relative URL, then make
the method chop the end off of the URL and redirect to that.
