thanks for the answer, Massimo. for legacy reason, the password i have in the db are stored as apache passwords (...because those passwords are also used to authenticated user for different services using apache [svn, wiki, etc...])
i therefore developed a custom login method (added to auth.settings.login_methods) which can check provided credentials against those stored passwords. i was wondering if it was possible to use this custom method for basic http auth also (but it seems that login_bare only does "web2py" authentication right?) what i mean by this is that login_methods is very useful for developing custom auth methods INSIDE web2py (not only restricted to third party auth provider) and i believe this could be extended so that the login_bare function also allows for custom auth methods. what do you think? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
