Ok, just sharing in the hopes of feedback. My latest thought for shared
auth is something like this:

SSO Login app
- Pyramid app that handles login process, has db for looking up users and
groups
- after lookup, creates a JWT that stores the user id and list of principles

Other Apps
- have a middleware layer that decodes the JWT token, checks it, and then
puts the user id and the list of principles into the WSGI env, much the way
repoze.who does
- main app(s) uses a RemoteUserAuth policy, handle ACLs from the info in
the WSGI env *only*.

I like this right now (in my ignorance, lol) because our main apps can be
completely ignorant of where identity comes from  and if we change schemes,
we only have to swap out middleware. But I'm quite possibly still on Mount
Stupid. (http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2475) So comments welcome!

thanks
