After leaving my project on backburner for about a year, I implemented
what you said and tg.identity does not get set when I am not logged
in.
INI
[authenticators]
plugins =
sqlauth
guestauth
[plugin:guestauth]
# An SQLAlchemy authorization plugin
use = hypernucleusserver.lib.auth:guestauth_plugin
CODE:
class GuestAuth:
implements(IAuthenticator)
def authenticate(self, environ, identity):
return 'guest'
guestauth_plugin = GuestAuth()
Can it be done with the plugin described below?
An identifier plugin (aka an IIdentifier plugin) must do three things:
extract credentials from the request and turn them into an “identity”,
“remember” credentials, and “forget” credentials.
