[Grok-dev] Global Cross-App User Authentication

[Christian Klinger]

Hi Matt,

i think you have to create your different Plugins as GlobalUtility.
If you instanciate your app you can register your PAU with the names of 
your Plugins. Something like this:


def setup_pau(PAU):
     PAU.authenticatorPlugins = ('principals', )
     PAU.credentialsPlugins = ("cookies",
         "Zope Realm Basic-Auth", "No Challenge if Authenticated")


class Uvcsite(grok.Application, grok.Container):

     grok.local_utility(PluggableAuthentication,
                        IAuthentication,
                        public=True,
                        setup=setup_pau)

Please ask if you need more details...

Christian
