Comment:
The patch uses both middleware and auth backend. This solves the session
problems I think. By default it auto-creates new users without any extra
info, but you can easily override this by subclassing the backend (see the
doc for examples).
An example configuration for apache using mod_auth_sspi (preferred module
on Windows) is in the doc.
I have only tested this like this, I have no info about mod_ntlm (best
used on Linux).
Don't know how to write tests for it though.
