Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
An `is_authenticated` field attached to the various username fields is the
right way to go, IMHO. The lack of this information is really the main
drawback to trac at the moment.
This would need to be combined with removing the e-mail/username box for
authenticated users and ignoring that CGI variable while authenticated, as
suggested in comment:27. Deciding how this information is displayed
(parentheses, a funny color, whatever) is a pretty trivial discussion
compared to the information being stored cleanly and explicitly in the DB
the first place.
Trac's deferral to the web server for authentication is a great feature,
and i would be very disappointed to see trac try to implement the login
mechanism itself, thereby losing the wonderful flexibility that all the
various apache authn modules provide.
