Right now in my view, I have a whole HUGE clump of <% if current_user %> and then <% if current_admin %> and then <% if current_teacher %> and then all that other stuff in my view.

Hello Finished reading chapter 9 and im a little bit confused. 1.

But if I set it, login is denied with an error C0000078 on the client, and something like [2002/06/03 10:32:28, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(314) setting sec ctx (65534, 65534) -
