| CM | 2 | :mod:`repoze.who` -- WSGI Authentication Middleware |
| 3 | *************************************************** | |
| fdbab9 | 4 | |
| 25ac2e | 5 | :mod:`repoze.who` is an identification and authentication framework |
| CM | 6 | for arbitrary WSGI applications. It acts as WSGI middleware. |
| fdbab9 | 7 | |
| 25ac2e | 8 | :mod:`repoze.who` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication |
| CM | 9 | Service (PAS) (but :mod:`repoze.who` is not dependent on Zope in any |
| 10 | way; it is useful for any WSGI application). It provides no facility | |
| 11 | for authorization (ensuring whether a user can or cannot perform the | |
| 12 | operation implied by the request). This is considered to be the | |
| 13 | domain of the WSGI application. | |

| CM | 16 | provisionally at http://static.repoze.org/whodocs) for more |
