  8. Overview
  9. --------
  10. ``repoze.who`` is an identification and authentication framework
  11. for arbitrary WSGI applications. ``repoze.who`` can be configured
  12. either as WSGI middleware or as an API for use by an application.
  13. ``repoze.who`` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication
  14. Service (PAS) (but ``repoze.who`` is not dependent on Zope in any
  15. way; it is useful for any WSGI application). It provides no facility
  16. for authorization (ensuring whether a user can or cannot perform the
  17. operation implied by the request). This is considered to be the
  18. domain of the WSGI application.
