I am working on authenticating users, just want to clarify a few things in concrete.
Does every Mailman user have a single, unique userid? Is a Mailman userid secret or public information - i.e. any reason not to use the userid in, for example, a cookie that is potentially public information? Is it possible to be a Mailman user WITHOUT having a related Mailman userid i.e. somehow you can use Mailman with an email address that has no corresponding Mailman userid? Do all email addresses map back to a Mailman userid, or is it possible for email addresses to be in some sort of “orphan/floating state” in which they are not related to a userid? Is it possible for a Mailman user to log in via their email address and password, or only via their userid and password? thanks as _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
