[web2py] Creating a custom authentication method: (global name 'user' is not def

[William Lewis]

Hi

I am trying to create and add a custom authentication method and 
incorporate it into web2py.
Here is my authentication method:

import win32security
import pywintypes


def auth_local(username, password):
    try:
        token = win32security.LogonUser(Username=username, 
                                        Domain='ad.local.com',
                                        Password=password,
                                        
LogonType=win32security.LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK,
                                        
LogonProvider=win32security.LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT)
        return True
    except pywintypes.error:
        return False

I have adjusted db.py as follows:

from gluon.contrib.login_methods.auth_local1 import auth_local
auth.settings.login_methods.append(auth_local)

## create all tables needed by auth if not custom tables
auth.define_tables(username=True, signature=False)

When I try to log in I get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\web\web2py_new\gluon\restricted.py", line 220, in restricted
    exec ccode in environment

    request.vars[passfield]):

in auth_local
    token = win32security.LogonUser(Username=username,
NameError: global name 'user' is not defined

Any help or feedback on what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
