- :mod:`repoze.who` -- WSGI Authentication Middleware
- ***************************************************
- :Author: Chris McDonough / Tres Seaver
- :Version: |version|
- .. module:: repoze.who
- :synopsis: WSGI authentication middleware
- .. topic:: Overview
- :mod:`repoze.who` is an identification and authentication framework
- for arbitrary WSGI applications. It can be used as WSGI middleware,
- or as an API from within a WSGI application.
- :mod:`repoze.who` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication
- Service (PAS) (but :mod:`repoze.who` is not dependent on Zope in any
- way; it is useful for any WSGI application). It provides no
- facility for authorization (ensuring whether a user can or cannot
- perform the operation implied by the request). This is considered
- to be the domain of the WSGI application.
-
- It attempts to reuse implementations from ``paste.auth`` for some
- of its functionality.
