I started a project called sentry for the purposes of integrating with
existing authentication systems (like PAM, LDAP or DB-based). For the
DB-based plugin you can specify how the passwords in the DB are
hashed. It has hashes that are compatible with Mysql PASSWORD /
OLD_PASSWORD, as well as unix crypt and shadow passwords and
LDAP-style passwords (like "{SHA}...", "{SSHA}...").
For example, to authenticate against an existing phpbb database (which
uses md5 hashes for the password), you could do something like this:
auth = sentry.auth.db.SingleTableAuth("mysql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/phpbb",
"phpbb_users", "username", "user_password",
sentry.hashers.Hasher("md5"))
then you can call auth.authenticate(username, password) in your login
function or middleware, which will return whether or not the given
username and password matches. The DB module uses SQLAlchemy, so it
can connect to any DB that SQLAlchemy can.
Basic LDAP authentication is easy:
auth = sentry.auth.ldapauth.LDAPAuth("ldap://ldap.domain.com";,
"ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com")
Feel free to use it, or copy code out for your own plugins. You can
find it at http://atlee.ca/software/sentry

Chris
