AuthKit Description

Free WSGI authentication and authorization toolkit AuthKit is a free authentication and authorization toolkit for WSGI applications and frameworks. Here are some key features of "AuthKit": · Built for WSGI applications and middleware · Sophisticated and extensible permissions system · Built in support for HTTP basic, HTTP digest, form, cookie and OpenID authentication methods plus others · Easily define users, passwords and roles · Designed to be totally extensible so you can use the components to integrate with a database, LDAP connection or your own custom system · Plays nicely with the Pylons web framework What's New in This Release: · Updated authkit.authenticate.form to handle the suggest change in #61 · Added powerpack adaptors · Changed the multi middleware to return the WSGI response rather than iterating over it and yielding results. · Fixed #50 OpenID problem and tested on blogger.com · Added the ability to pass the environ dictionary to render() functions · Added bad cookie customisation options to fix #65 but also to allow bad cookie template customisation. See the docstring of the authkit.authenticate.cookie module. · Added a new algorithm based on ideas from #61 to guess the correct action for the form produced by the form middleware but also added support for an authkit.form.action option which allows you to manually override AuthKit's guess. (The OpenID middleware calls this baseurl) · Added user_set_password() methods to users API. Fixes #64. · Removed arabic letters from the form handler. Fixes #40. · Added headers to the form handling for IE. Fixes #54. · Adding SQLAlchemy 0.5 support, uses session.add() instead of session.save() · The multi handler now handles WSGI applications implemented as iterators, it already supported generators. The multi2.py example demonstrates this. · Set the pylons.status_code_redirect environment variable on all redirected AuthKit responses · Set the pylons.error_call environment variable on all redirected AuthKit responses · Trigger an error when trying to use server-side password encryption with digest authentication
