Dear group,

I am working on an application that will be used in an environment
that uses a 3rd party product for authentication of all web
applications. Therefore I need to make my pyramid app accept the sign-
on credential from the Siteminder webagent. The webagent is a plug-in
for Apache that intercepts all interactions with the webserver. When a
user browser logs in on a separate page and submits a valid secure
Siteminder cookie (maintained by siteminder) the webagent will create
a customer http header that the user never sees but the webserver
does. The variable name is HTTP_SSE_USER. This header variable
contains the logon user ID of the user.

What is the smartest way of setting up my pyramid app so that the user
is acknowledged as logged in through siteminder? I guess I need to
check for the HTTP_SSE_USER variable somewhere. But where exactly
could this be done?

Thanks in advance,
Sascha
