| 13 | .. topic:: Overview | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | :mod:`repoze.who` is an identification and authentication framework | |
| 16 | for arbitrary WSGI applications. It acts as WSGI middleware. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | :mod:`repoze.who` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication | |
| 19 | Service (PAS) (but :mod:`repoze.who` is not dependent on Zope in any | |
| 20 | way; it is useful for any WSGI application). It provides no | |
| 21 | facility for authorization (ensuring whether a user can or cannot | |
| 22 | perform the operation implied by the request). This is considered | |
| 23 | to be the domain of the WSGI application. | |
| 24 | ||
| caa42f | 25 | It attempts to reuse implementations from ``paste.auth`` for some |
| 25ac2e | 26 | of its functionality. |
