No, I understand why you do your own authentication. Simply having the ability to log out trumps HTTP authentication every time. What I'm trying to understand is the next thought in the chain: > If Zope performs authentication, then we'd like > the authentication to show up in the access logs. Why do you want this? What do people do with the information? To me it makes a lot more sense to log application-level events: so-and-so tried to do this, etc... Whereas at the web server log level, you're logging that so-and-so's browser requested a gif or a css file. I'm not trying to argue here. I'm just trying to understand what value you're getting out of the logs.
