Thnx for the pointer ... :)

... but all this also means that I cannot delegate auth to Apache + MS
AD/LDAP (like I do it right now ...)

... and all this just to get a real logout ... ufff

Let me please repeat this question ... (sorry if the whole process
sounds like a little annoying, but pls understand me, I *do not* want
to reconfigure LDAP auth for Trac especially since it is working just
fine in Apache ... and I also think I'll need to patch AccMngrPlugin
and perhaps do a lot more things ... and I see no reason for all that
since my system is up and running ... and all this just to get a real
logout ...)

Is there any way to configure Trac so that I can

- delegate auth to Apache mod_ldap ... to login users against my local
MS AD server

- this means I *do not* want to install Trac LDAP extensions ...

- perform a real logout ...

- and still be able to use XML RPC ...

Can I delegate auth to Apache at all ? The way I see it now is as
follows ... and I mean in general ...

- In order to perform a real logout I need to use form based auth ...

- Therefore I *cannot* delegate auth to Apache since require-valid
user *has to* be off

- Therefore user credentials *must* be checked by Trac internally ...
using a Passw store (in my case LDAP PS but could be any other ... ;)

Good news is that I can use HTTPAuth plugin to use TracXMLRPC ... bad
news is that I need to setup LDAP extensions and there is no way (as
far as I see it now ... please I'd be very happy if I am wrong, pls
...), I can delegate auth to Apache, and I see no flexibility at all
if the former reasoning is right ...

Once again ... is there any solution to this puzzle ? I really dont
see it ... :(

PD: Dont worry ... if there is no possible workaround I'll use
form-based auth, but sincerely right now I dont see why should I ...
and suddenly Trac auth has turned out to be a little monolithic ... at
least to my eyes ;) until you enlight me a little :) ... and the
options I have to deploy Trac using Apache are significantly reduced
... something I dont really like ... so I would like to know *the how*
;)

... and dont worry ... I love Trac anyway ... :)

Thank you all ...
