Rely on Web Server authentication?

[Marc Fargas]

Hi there,

Is it possible for WsgiDAV to not try any means of authentication and
rely on the web server REMOTE_USER header? We use Kerberos which is
handled by apache so if WsgiDAV can get the current user from the
headers that'd rock.

Thanks,
Marc

Hey,

without having looked at it too deep, I would think it should be pretty easy to write a custom domain controller that handles it.

The http_authenticator.py uses a WsgiDAVDomainController by default, but you can create for example a KerberosDomainController one and pass it to the domaincontroller=... option in wsgidav.conf.

Samples are NTDomainController or SimpleDomainController (found in http_authenticator.py).

Hope that helps. Let me know, if you get it to run and I add it to the package ;-)

Thanks for the tips, I think I know how to get it to work now.

I'll let you know if I succeed and paste the code in a ticket :)
