Hi,

Has anyone used PAS to authenticate and get properties from a web 
service?  We have a requirement for this in a project, but given the 
current general state of SOAP support in python, I'm not very clear on 
what the best solution might be on this.


If anyone has any experience/advice that they're willing to share, I'd 
be very grateful.


Well, if by web services you mean SOAP, then I don't know. But the 
GMailAuthPlugin (which is really just a demonstrator), the Salesforce 
connector, the OpenID plugin, and the LibertyAuthPlugin could be called 
using web services. Maybe the CAS plugin counts.


If you can communicate with the auth source in Python, it's definite 
fodder for a PAS plugin.

Yes, I did mean SOAP as that seems to be the only way this specific 
service is exposed.  I wasn't aware of those plugins so will take a 
look.  The salesforce plugin looks quite useful, from a cursory glance.


Thanks,
