Well I have spent allot of time trying to figure out my next problem here before I further expose the depths of my ignorance here...
I tried passing in AUTH_USER as a string user name and it naturally works for authentication; as did passing in repoze.what.credentials:<my user object>. The problem I have is that my User model has a ManyToOne relationship to a Company model. In my controller I use the environ. [AUTH_USER].company on another object (say, template.owner=user.company). Passing AUTH_USER as a string naturally gives me "string has no attribute 'company;". When I pass the User object in for repoze.what.credentials I get 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'company'. My TestModel class in base has the company attribute of the user set in setUp, so I don't get it... My thanks in advance for you nurturing me along here.
