if you have an application that has access control it can be annoying
to log in every time even though you are on localhost. This small
snippet will automatically log you in as the first user when you come
from localhost
put the following in your db.py model (or any other)
import os.path
if not auth.is_logged_in() and db(db.auth_user.id>0).count() and not
os.path.exists(os.path.join(request.folder, 'LOCK')) and
(request.env.remote_addr in '127.0.0.1 localhost'.split()):
from gluon.storage import Storage
user = db(db.auth_user.id==1).select().first()
auth.user = Storage(auth.settings.table_user._filter_fields(user,
id=True))
auth.environment.session.auth = Storage(user=user,
last_visit=request.now,
expiration=auth.settings.expiration)
response.flash = 'You were automatically logged in as %s %s.<br/>
To prevent this create the file %s'%(user.first_name, user.last_name,
os.path.join(request.folder, 'LOCK'))
You will be automatically logged in as the first user if you call your
web2py app from localhost or 127.0.0.1 you can prevent this behavior
by creating a file called LOCK in your application root directory
