[Zope] RE: problems with NTUserFolder.

[Jay, Dylan]

I see how it works now. I installed jcNTUSerFolder but couldn't get it to
work. I thought it did the challenge response stuff for me. I didn't realize
it had to go behind IIS. I'll give it a try.

E_USER_mode

a few comments:
- you have to install the jcNTUserFolder *before* you put Zope in REMOTE
user mode.
- zope in its current form can't handle REMOTE user authentication mode
together with standard authentication mode. When you install Zope as as
pcgi process to get through IIS, it is the *only* way to be
authenticated and get, for example, to the management screens. When you
install jcNTUserFolder as the root user folder, you have to choose the
NT user that will be mapped to the super user. The first time, you have
to log with that user. Note that this 'super user' needn't be a
privileged one under NT.
