Hi.
Is there any way to manually sign in a user using AuthKit with Pylons?
Here's the problem I'm facing:
1) user is presented with standard login form (username+password) that
has some additional fields
2) when user is already in database I want to authenticate him (this
is nicely done by AuthKit) and process data from additional fields in
my action
3) when user is not in database I want to:
* add him to DB ('user_create' to be used from AuthKit SQLAlchemy driver)
* sign him in (this is the part I'm asking about)
* process additional data
* all of the above done in one action method (the reason for
that is that user won't see many page reloads before all processing is
done; maybe there's some other way to achieve that: I've just spotted
'forward' in 'pylons.controllers.util' but I don't know whether this
could be used in my situation)
I want to solve the above problem the Pylons-way, that's why I'm
writing (maybe there's some kind of idiom for this).
I've spotted place where AuthKit updates 'REMOTE_USER' [1], so I guess
I could just copy-paste it into my action method. I assume going down
this way I should also find the code that updates 'authkit' cookie (to
do exactly what AuthKit does) and paste it also into my action.
Somehow I don't feel this is the right way to do this.
My authkit-related config (I use 'cookie' and 'form' method):
authkit.setup.enable = true
authkit.setup.method = form, cookie
authkit.form.authenticate.user.type =
authkit.users.sqlalchemy_driver:UsersFromDatabase
authkit.form.authenticate.user.data = myapp.model
authkit.cookie.secret = some_privy_secret
authkit.cookie.signoutpath = /signout
Thanks for answers in advance :)
