There's a page in the Pylons Cookbook with HOWTO links for all the generally-useful auth systems http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscookbook/Authentication+and+Authorization ... and a page for listing anything you think an auth system should have that isn't currently covered. http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscookbook/A+Spec+for+Pylons+Auth+Packages Please add any missing information here, for the benefit of all Pylons users. The second page would be a good place to link Raoul's unfinished code in case somebody wants to pick it up. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
