Reviving this thread from before... I would like to have a shell script use wget to authenticate itself and access the data in a web2py application, but I haven't been able to get the web2py app to accept the post'ed email and password information, which I sent to the user/ login URL. Is this the right way to do it?
I see some passing references to alternate authorization methods in the documentation and the code, but I haven't been able to get much detail on what those might be. For example- http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/default/tools#authentication : "The Auth calls can be extended, personalized, and replaced by other authentication mechanisms which expose a similar interface." and in http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.tools-pysrc.html#Auth.login : 644 if not user: 645 ## try alternate login methods 646 for login_method in self.settings.login_methods: 647 if login_method != self and \ 648 login_method(request.vars [username], 649 request.vars.password): 650 user = self.get_or_create_user (form.vars) Is there a place where I can find out more about what already exists, or how to go about getting something like what the original message in this thread described?
