>From what I have determined, to do this manually I would have to call
the following:
set_login_attempted(True)
validate_identity(user_name, pw, visit_key)
The validate_identity call is made on the identity provider object
corresponding to the current visit. I am looking through the
libraries for access to that provider, whether through the
IdentityVisitPlugin, or some other object, but I am not sure that
there isn't a better way.
The problem is that Turbogears only provides the following methods in
the IdentityVisitPlugin to make this more automatic:
def identity_from_http_auth(self, visit_key):
def identity_from_visit(self, visit_key):
def identity_from_form(self, visit_key):
My options are to add another here to accomodate my RPC request, or to
do those parts manually in my root controller. Any thoughts? Thanks.
