Yes, it calls your authenticate() every time req.authname is looked up. req.authname actually returns the result of a function call, which loops through all Components that implement IAuthenticator and returns the result of their authenticate() methods until one of them returns something, or the list is exhausted (in which case it returns 'anonymous'). Look at trac.web.main. So if you're checking req.authname in your authenticate() method, then it will go into an infinite loop. Obviously you shouldn't do that, because your method is what's *providing* the value for req.authname. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
