AuthKit 0.4 and custom login form: need an example

[Matt Feifarek]

I'm struggling trying to get this to work and hoping for some help.

The relevant portions of the PylonsBook don't seem to be written yet, and wiki-based examples don't even have the same config syntax configuration spec.

The source code examples in svn trunk (which aren't in 0.4.0 btw) are not pylons examples, simply low-level WSGI scripts, and are therefore too different for my addled brain to map well to pylons.

Here's the closest that I have so far:

In my config, I have this:
authkit.enable = true
authkit.setup.method = forward, cookie
authkit.cookie.signoutpath = /authkit_test/signout
authkit.cookie.secret = secret string
authkit.forward.internalpath = /authkit_test/signin
authkit.forward.authenticate.user.data = guest:foobar

Which gives me an error: """AuthKitConfigError: No authkit.users object exists in the environment. You may have forgotton to specify a Users object or are using the the default valid_password() method in the authenticate middleware when you may have meant to specify your own."""

That's over my head, I'm afraid.

I also tried following these docs:
http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/authkitcookbook/AuthKit+Authentication+Methods

The Form doc mentions being able to override the template with a string or a file. I can't seem to get that working either; authkit seems to want to sent its own form (which is wrapped in an error page, by the way).

If anyone has a working (or semi-working) example, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!
