pam authentication support with PyPam
Hello all! I was just curious if anyone had seen PyPam (http://www.pangalactic.org/PyPAM/) which is the beginnings of python bindings for pam. I was wondering if anyone was thinking about adding pam support to zope. This would be neat because you could use any type of authentication that was available from a pam-aware OS such as RedHat.

But what are types of auth currently supported by Linux systems? I know only password-based auth...

Oleg, Caldera, Red Hat and SuSE currently support pam authentication capabilities. Red Hat has added an ldap_pam module to "RH 6.1". I just performed a search on google for "pam module", and I came up with a page, "ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/pam/distrib/modules.html", which provides some light on modules that are available or in developement: sql based auth - informix, mysql s/key cryptocard samba or NT domain controler tacacs+ radius (provided by cryptocard folks) netware opie secure remote password NIS+. If zope has pam support, it might be easier to get someone to provide a new pam module than to create a new type of authentication for zope. Of course, I could be wrong. For all I know, it may be harder to configure pam stuff to work properly. Anyway, I am not a python programmer (I am not much of a programmer in general), or I would probably pursue this myself. I am just a creative thinker (especially in the area of security.) Clarence T. Pate Oleg Broytmann wrote:

standard password, shadow password, nis, nis+, ldap, NT Domain, and I believe that Ive seen a pam hack that allows auth off of MySQL. On Sun, 17 Oct 1999, Oleg Broytmann wrote:
