hi gustavo, friends,

it should be simpler than it shows. it's a function call on an accessible 
object: server.ssl_context.
thus all i miss is the server object, and i'm asking on this list as tg 
developers know where they invoke the server. my action should take place after 
the server is up, but before any request.

thanks a lot gustavo.

i were far away from this source of information.

but this should help if i want to authenticate the client in apache, and i
wanted to do this in paste SecureHTTPServer. the way to go with the
underlying pyopenssl is setting a callback function that will be called for
each certificate the client has. when the relevant match occurs, the
client's certificate userid will just be looked up in the users' table, and
the password shoud not be checked.

that's why i wanted to be able to set the verify callback function on the
server.ssl_context, at some early point before the first request, like
config.app_cfg.py.

That's another story! ;-)

You're looking for authentication at the server level, but repoze.who is WSGI
middleware -- this is, it's run by the server (so you can't use it before the
server). It's not possible to use repoze.who here.

If I were you, I'd try the Paste mailing list, since you're trying to add
X.509 authentication to their server.

Good luck!
