Problems with creating new groups in Apache Lenya

[ra...@tcs.com]

Hi,
I've started using apache lenya 1.2.4 recently. 

1.  Whenever I create a new group under default publication and create a 
new user under that group,  they are shown in the "Users" and "Groups". 
But i'm not able to login to the publication using the same user name. 

2.  And also there is no effect and means to assign access rights to any 
content, hence is as good as creating an useless group that have no 
control over what the member of this newly created group can access. 

Thanks,
 Rahul.

1. Two ideas:
- Do the users work after restarting Lenya?  That would imply a caching issue.
- Check the file:
{pub}\config\ac\ac.xconf
The full path to the "ac" directories are hardcoded there, so your pub
may be looking at the security for the "default" pub.  That file
should really use relative paths.  It is painful to need to remember
to change it every time a publication's directory name changes, such
as making copies for testing.

2. A hack for adding security to Lenya 1.2 is at:

The devs state this has been fixed for Lenya 1.4.
