Adrian,

First, please understand that the primary security hole is ME, not
Seaside :)  With that said, there are a few things I would like to see:

(1) users must be challenged for username and password before they are
allowed to do anything; I have accomplished this via tasks.  I have no
need to allow users to register themselves - the site should say "GO
AWAY!" to all but approved users - medical stuff.

(2) SSL/https, ideally with an idiot-proof selection between being
proxied behind Apache and Comanche running over SSL courtesy of the
cryptography team.

(3) brain-dead simple Apache setup

My problem is that I cannot afford to make a mistake with most data that
I protect.  The current project needs some security, but a spill would
not make AP wires, so it is a great place to start while I figure out
how lock everything down.

Can you elaborate on the kind of security? Is this Seaside security in  
general or are you talking about applications that allow users to  
execute code in a sandbox? Or something else? I'd be interested to  
hear more...
