Comment:
It sounds like you've thought this through. Still, I think that a mod_wsgi
auth handler is a good idea. Considering your suggestions, I think an auth
script should look something like this:
{{{
import sys
sys.path.append(...)
import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
import django.contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi
def check_password(environ, user, password):
return django.contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi.check_password(environ,
user, password)
}}}
In this way, there will always be an external auth script but at least
users won't be repeating themselves as much.
I like this solution a lot better than making sure that the system path is
set properly and that the `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` environment variable is
set in the OS level before starting Apache. That solution would also have
problems with multiple Django projects authenticating against multiple
auth databases running on the same Apache instance.
I'll start working on a patch.
