``repoze.who`` -- WSGI Authentication Middleware
|
***************************************************
|
|
``repoze.who`` is an identification and authentication framework
|
for arbitrary WSGI applications. It acts as WSGI middleware.
|
|
``repoze.who`` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication
|
Service (PAS) (but ``repoze.who`` is not dependent on Zope in any
|
way; it is useful for any WSGI application). It provides no facility
|
for authorization (ensuring whether a user can or cannot perform the
|
operation implied by the request). This is considered to be the
|
domain of the WSGI application.

See the ``docs`` subdirectory of this package (also available at least
|
provisionally at http://static.repoze.org/whodocs) for more
|
information.
