Interesting, thanks Massimo! I took a look at the survey link. It send a link that lets me access part of the site, but 1) I'm not sure if it's actually logging in the user (i.e. changing auth.user) and 2) I don't have access to the code for it, so I don't know how to imitate its technique.
I looked at the CAS stuff but I'm not sure I'm making the right use of it. I think session.token is the key, but this line: id,email,name=session.token ### specific for web2py CAS service led me to think that login would be different for my non-CAS system. I hooked up a debugger so I could see what happens to session.token for a logged in user and got None. So apparently my regular login isn't even using session.token, so I can't log a user in by creating a controller action that sets session.token. I'm gonna keep hammering away at this, let me know if you have more ideas! Thanks!
