Well, not really a crisis, but that seemed catchy.

A couple questions:

1) Is there any way (or does it even make sense) to substitute a different authentication mechanism in Identity? I'm going to start work on a hosting control panel in TG and what I'd like to do is use Identity to control access but authenticate users with their email address via the local IMAP server. This makes user management much simpler as I'm not duplicating login data. If there were a way to tell Identity to check usernames and passwords via an alternate mechanism that would be great (perhaps just by providing a boolean function).

If not, would this be a welcome patch? I'd rather not write my own equivalent of Identity, but at the same time I can understand not wanting to over-complicate Identity with lots of options.

2) Is there a single point of reference for Identity documentation? The source? I've noticed that some of the early test code I wrote is broken as of late and was wondering where people are getting their documentation for Identity. The last time I looked, the docs consisted of a couple blog pages (Not complaining! Just wondering!).

Regards,
Cliff
