Yes, I had a hack for Moin <1.7 that worked too, but the Moin authentication
process was changed in 1.7 - see the /docs/CHANGEs.
I had to rewrite my hack to fit the 1.7 model (there is another minor change
required for Moin 1.8). If your request method returns a user object, Moin
will create the cookie. The MoinAuth cookie is an example, it can be any name
except MOIN_SESSION. You may have to resort to writing to a log file to debug
your code. I included a "def writeLog(*args):" function in the example because
I needed it to debug my code.
There appear to be few of using ExternalCookie for authentication, if you find
errors in HelpOnAuthentication/ExternalCookie, please fix it.
I will be MIA until Friday, good luck.
