Track down double logins

This How-to applies to: Any version.

A double-login is where you login to the PrivateWeb, and then when attempting to access a component on the PrivateWeb, you get the login screen again - the double login. Theoretically, and in a correctly functioning website, the first login gives access to all you need.

The conceptual answer, which is also almost completely not helpful, is that the security for whatever is giving you the double login is not consistent with the PrivateWeb security. That's not very helpful because the zope security model can be tricky to work through.

Below are some of the common causes for double-login. If you discover another, or even a variation on one of these, please let us know and we'll add it to the list.

  1. KY's double-login on Interest Areas:
    Problem:
    When you go to the private side and click on task forces in the nav bar and then click one of the links listed you get prompted to log on again. This should not happen as you have had to log on to be able get to this point.
    Findings:
    When I went to the page and clicked on one of the links it asked me to re authenticate. I looked and the links were going to www.kylawhelp.org instead of www.kyjustice.org . I went into zope and found that the links pointed to http://www.kylawhelp.org/data/interest/(whatever the link was) this was the problem.
    Solution:
    Change the links at /home/privateweb/groups/index_html take away the "http://www.kylawhelp.org" and leave the rest. This corrects the link to be on our website instead of the other one.
