For a start read: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/AccessControlMechanisms This will only work though if using HTTP Basic or Digest authentication handled by Apache. If you are expecting to use a HTML form/session based log in mechanism it gets a bit tricker. Perhaps look at: http://www.openfusion.com.au/labs/mod_auth_tkt/ Apache 2.4 when available will have mod_session which will allow similar things but that is a little way off and mod_wsgi has been enhanced yet to directly support mod_session in Apache.
