The returned value there is a response object. > print(request.headers) The exact response here will vary a bit depending on your authentication policy. For auth_tkt you should see a couple of Set-Cookie headers that set the authentication cookie. If you use a session authentication policy you might not see anything here, or only a Set-Cookie header to set the session cookie. > print(unauthenticated_userid(request)) > print(authenticated_userid(request)) Those function only work on an incoming request, not on a response object. > How can I test that authentication has worked? That depends a bit on your testing style. The most reliable method is to write an integration test and do a second request and check the response to see if authentication succeeded. The pure unit-test approach is to insert a mock for remember() and check if the headers returned by remember() show up in the response headers.
