As I recall, identity consists of 3 tables plus some join tables between them: users groups permissions
Visit tracking uses a single table which has 4 columns: visit key when created when expires user ID Logging in adds a record to the visit table. Identity installs a cherrypy filter which on every server request, gets the visit key (if any) from the cookie and looks it up in the visit table. If the cookie has not expired yet, then that user is associated with the current request. Do you want to keep the user permanently logged in? Did you try setting visit.timeout to a really high value?

Too bad nothing usable came out of it. If someone can explain to me what and how the visit and identity frameworks are doing behind the scenes, I'd at least have an idea where to start.
