remote_user

[them...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I try to use get the request.remote_user method in an existing pyramid project.

What I tried is this:

   logging.error(request.remote_user)

    logging.error(request.environ.get('REMOTE_USER'))

    logging.error(type(request))

 

With this results:

2016-07-05 18:08:36,335 ERROR [root][DummyThread-19] None

2016-07-05 18:08:36,335 ERROR [root][DummyThread-19] None

2016-07-05 18:08:36,336 ERROR [root][DummyThread-19] <class 'pyramid.request.Request'>

but when I just call 

logging.error(request)

I see that the username is part of the response, so it just seems that my methods to get the value is wrong

any ideas how to solve or good examples to do it right?

REMOTE_USER is a special variable with a specific meaning. It's not some generic variable for identifying your user unless you have taken steps to have REMOTE_USER set. It is a way for a webserver upstream of you to identify the credentials and pass them down to your app in a secure way.

Anyway, so far it sounds like you didn't know what REMOTE_USER was and there's my brief explanation. You'll have to give more info about your setup and explain why exactly you expect it to not be None.

Perhaps the OP needs 'request.authenticated_userid'?

http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/api/request.html#p
yramid.request.Request.authenticated_userid
