collective.usernamelogger 1.0

Log user names when using cookie authentication in Zope/Plone.

Introduction

This package provides logging of user names in Zope’s access log files when using cookie-based authentication as provided by PluggableAuthService and plone.session.

Installation

The easiest way to user this package is when working with installations based on zc.buildout. Here you can simply add the package to your “eggs” and “zcml” options, run buildout and restart your Zope/Plone instance.

Alternatively you can use the following configuration file to extend your existing buildout:

[buildout]
extends = buildout.cfg

[instance]
eggs += collective.usernamelogger
zcml += collective.usernamelogger

After that you should see user names being logged in your access log file, typically at <site-root>/var/log/instance-Z2.log.
