Good  morning. There are plenty of others of us on this list. So no 
need to just ask me for help -- anybody can usually jump in. In fact 
you're very welcome to come to a meeting and meet some of us!

You're trying to protect something based on a username and password? If 
that's the case, you're making a lot of work for yourself. Zope has so 
much built-in stuff to handle this.

I think what you probably want is something along these lines:

Can you tell us a bit more about what you're building? And what it's 
supposed to do?

Go into the ZMI and have a look at the Security tab. This, plus the 
authentication above, might be the key to solving your problem quickly. 
Read up on Zope's security and you'll have a better idea of how it 
controls access to objects.

Good luck!
