We're using Django and SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher to publish some web service calls. The last missing piece is that I'm trying to put an authentication layer in front of the services and I'm not sure the best way to go about it.
Right now I'm using Apache's mod_auth and AuthType Basic with an htpasswd file. This works, but then Django doesn't know anything about the user so I can't use information from their profile to decide how to respond to their request. It's also potentially slow once we'd get a few users authenticating against it. So, is there a best practice for such things? The one hard requirement is that it has to work with Python's xmlrpclib's basic authorization support, and therefore probably also with our .NET clients. -- Kirk Strauser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
