[TG2] Repoze.who documentation on the way?

[Derick Eisenhardt]

I was very happy to notice the tgext.Authorization documentation is
now online today, but there's one big problem...the repoze.who docs
still simply say @ToDo: http://turbogears.org/2.0/docs/main/Auth/Authentication.html

As tgext.authorization seem to be designed for use with repoze.who
primarily, I really hope this is in the pipe for the near future.

thanks guys!

Yes, it's definitely in the very near future :) Initially, that page will
borrow many bits from the repoze.who introduction I wrote for
repoze.who.plugins.ldap, plus some tips and tricks, so I don't think it'll
take too much time -- I just need to find the time ;-) It's very likely that
I'll work on it in the upcoming sprint in a few days.

Kind of off topic...
can repoze.who.plugins.ldap work with samba authentication if samba is
configured to use ldap as well?

Has anybody tried doing that for authentication?

Thanks,

To be honest, I have never used samba, so I'm not too sure on what you mean by
"if samba is configured to use ldap as well".

Anyway, this plugin requires an LDAP URL or an LDAP object (see python-ldap).
So, it'll need to interact with the LDAP server after all.

I hope this answers your question :)

based on the "never have used" part.

you do not need samba or AD for this, they are plenty of native ldap
linux implementations

What I ment was that I am about to setup samba to authenticate all
machines and users to a domain. Samba authenticates users to shared
network drives under the same domain. Samba can be setup to read the
credentials from an LDAP server. If tg2 / repoze.who can also read
from the same ldap server and authenticate users to my applications
then this leaves me with just one place to manage every user.

this is not really samba, samba is a network protocol.

if samba uses ldap as auth, then in theory this should work.
