[Pkg-zope-developers] Bug#337126: zope2.8: adding Plone Site fails with reauthentication loop

[Nathaniel W. Turner]

Package: zope2.8
Version: 2.8.3-1
Severity: important

I've been using Plone with a Zope 2.7 instance, and this works fine.  I
can add new Plone sites at will.  I was considering migrating to Zope
2.8, so I created a 2.8 instance with dzhandle, started it up on a
different port, connected to it (this worked; I got the welcome page),
entered the ZMI (ok), went to add a Plone Site, got the expected form,
filled in the site id, hit the button, and... was prompted for my
credentials. I entered the same credentials, but they were not accepted,
and after several tries, I hit Cancel and got this error page:

----

Site Error

An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

Error Type: Unauthorized
Error Value: Cannot create Large Plone Folder

Troubleshooting Suggestions

    * The URL may be incorrect.
    * The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect.
    * A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error.

For more detailed information about the error, please refer to the error log.

If the error persists please contact the site maintainer. Thank you for your patience.

Since this works with zope2.7, I'm filing it on zope2.8 rather than
zope-cmfplone.

Any ideas?  Has anyone else tried using plone with zope2.8 on Debian?

Cheers,
nate
