:synopsis: WSGI authentication middleware
|
|
.. topic:: Overview
|
|
:mod:`repoze.who` is an identification and authentication framework
|
for arbitrary WSGI applications. It can be used as WSGI middleware,
|
or as an API from within a WSGI application.
|
|
:mod:`repoze.who` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication
|
Service (PAS) (but :mod:`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.
|
|
It attempts to reuse implementations from ``paste.auth`` for some
|
of its functionality.
