Two problems with AuthKit 0.4.1 and Pylons 0.9.7rc2
Andre Kolell
I've got two problems/questions regarding AuthKit. Please find my development.ini below.
These are my questions:
1. I would like to do some operations after the user has logged in (fetch some things from database and insert them into the user's session). Where should I place the code for that?
2. Every time after logging in via POSTing username and password, the next page isn't totally loaded (the browser get's back only part of the full DOM). If I reload the page, the whole DOM-Object is loaded. If I send username and password via GET instead, the whole DOM-Object is also loaded. But having username and password in the URL looks ugly. What can be the cause of this problem and what might be a possible solution?
Hope someone can help me.
Best regards,
Andre
My development.ini:

[server:main]
use = egg:Paste#http
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 5000
[app:main]
use = egg:toolbox
full_stack = true
cache_dir = %(here)s/data
beaker.session.key = lalaland
beaker.session.secret = <<secret>>
# SQLAlchemy database URL
sqlalchemy.url = <<secret>>
# AuthKit
authkit.setup.enable = true
authkit.setup.method = form, cookie
authkit.form.authenticate.user.type = lalaland.model.user:UsersFromDatabase
authkit.form.authenticate.user.data = lalaland.model
authkit.form.template.obj = lalaland.lib.template:make_login_template
authkit.cookie.secret = <<secret>>
authkit.cookie.signoutpath = /logout/logout

I think there is callback for that (at least I have seen in when I
looked into AuthKit code yesterday -
http://authkit.org/svn/AuthKit/trunk/authkit/authenticate/form.py,
search for self.auth_func). You will have problems with user sessions
in 0.9.6. In 0.9.7rc4 you will have chance to update session
(environ['beaker.session']).
Again I could offer my own form authentication middleware because you
could do what you want just by reading documentation. Please read
other my e-mails.

That's somewhere in my head but I don't remember exactly. I think you
can't fix that in AuthKit but I just don't remember now why.

thanks a lot for your reply.
I think that I will stay at AuthKit because it works fine for everything else I'm doing. There are only the two problems I described earlier.
You told me about a callback for doing some operations (inserting something into the session) immediately after the user logged in. I've taken a look at http://authkit.org/svn/AuthKit/trunk/authkit/authenticate/form.py but I don't know hot to implement that. May be my python/pylons knowledge isn't good enough yet!? :( Can you give me a little more help with that?
Is there someone around who had the second problem (after logging in page isn't completely loaded) too and knows a solution?
Best regards,
Andre

James is reading this group now. Maybe he will answer ;-)

Sorry, that's all what I see myself. You should analyze code from there.

I guess problem is that POST method does not re-post parameters.
That's all. I recommend showing form only to authorized users. Maybe
that's the problem?

thanks a lot for your help.
Now I decided to change AuthKit's method to "forward" instead of "form".
This solved both problems.
