Hi all, I'm using HTTPAuthSessionWrapper to wrap a portal, which uses our own
checker against an internal service to authenticate users and I'm having
trouble to pass extra information to sub resources.
I've read about the mind object and I think that's where all that information
should go. However, HTTPAuthSessionWrapper passes None as its mind to
portal.login, so I either have to override _login() or write a method that
generates "minds" which can be overriden in subclasses to return something
else than None. I prefer the latter, though.
Anyway, I could be mistaken and "mind" wouldn't be appropriate in this case,
so I wanted to ask first here, since the mind argument seems to be rarely
used.
What kind of "extra information" are you trying to pass? Generally, all
information belongs with the avatar object. The mind should be used to
interact with the protocol's notion of the user (as the avatar is used to
interact with the realm's notion of the user).
