Hi Curtis. I understand what you mean; thanks for your input. :)

However as they say, the devil is in the details. I just posted one message 
before I read this one. The LoginManager supports, by default, cookie 
login, HTTP auth login, and "REMOTE_USER" login. I take this to mean that 
it can either authenticate using HTTP basic authentication, or let the 
LoginManager set a cookie with the browser, or use this REMOTE_USER thing. 
I can't use HTTP basic auth but require form-based login, and I cannot use 
cookies in my application, and I don't know what this REMOTE_USER thing is. 
It seems that I will be unable to use the LoginManager.

I'm unsure as to how to proceed, as I'm finding that the options are 
running out as I dive more into the details.
