As with the first identity document I saw, it's quite clear about how to prevent access to a given resource but entirely vague on what it does with users it deems unsuitable. One sentence says, "throw a suitable IdentityException", but which IdentityExceptions are available, and how do I know which is suitable, and what sort of feedback does that give to the end user, and can I customise that? Further up it has said, "you will be redirected to the login page where you must authenticate yourself", but I don't know if that is always the case. Besides which, that is not always the kind of behaviour you are likely to want, especially if the user is already logged in and just lacks permissions, so if there is an alternative (or not!) it would be useful to know this. Also, it slightly glosses over how to create users in the actual app, rather than via Catwalk or the shell. My guess is that 99% of projects are going to be asking users to register themselves in some way, so that should be considered the norm when it comes to creating a new user object. A very simple Kid template showing a sample registration form, and a trivial controller method showing how this works, would be a pleasant addition. I think the bit where it says, "If you want to log who's making updates in the DB you can get this information from the User object" is a bit unnecessarily specific - the information is about the current user, whether they're making updates or not. Correct? (I am somewhat new to using Identity myself.) Finally, the page's URL is misspelt, for what it's worth. -- Ben Sizer --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
