| 30b996 | 17 | Overview |
| TS | 18 | -------- |
| fdbab9 | 19 | |
| 7141c7 | 20 | ``repoze.who`` is an identification and authentication framework |
| 30b996 | 21 | for arbitrary WSGI applications. ``repoze.who`` can be configured |
| TS | 22 | either as WSGI middleware or as an API for use by an application. |
| fdbab9 | 23 | |
| 7141c7 | 24 | ``repoze.who`` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication |
| TS | 25 | Service (PAS) (but ``repoze.who`` is not dependent on Zope in any |
| 25ac2e | 26 | way; it is useful for any WSGI application). It provides no facility |
| CM | 27 | for authorization (ensuring whether a user can or cannot perform the |
| 28 | operation implied by the request). This is considered to be the | |
| 29 | domain of the WSGI application. | |
