+.. _repozewho1authenticationpolicy_directive:
+
+``repozewho1authenticationpolicy``
+----------------------------------
+
+When this directive is used, authentication information is obtained
+from a ``repoze.who.identity`` key in the WSGI environment, assumed to
+be set by :term:`repoze.who` middleware.
+
+Attributes
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``identifier_name``
+ The ``identifier_name`` controls the name used to look up the
+ :term:`repoze.who` "identifier" plugin within
+ ``request.environ['repoze.who.plugins']`` which is used by this
+ policy to "remember" and "forget" credentials. It defaults to
+ ``auth_tkt``.
+
+``callback``
+ The ``callback`` is a Python dotted name to a function passed the
+ repoze.who identity and the request as positional arguments. The
+ callback is expected to return None if the user represented by the
+ identity doesn't exist or a sequence of group identifiers
+ (possibly empty) if the user does exist. If ``callback`` is None,
+ the userid will be assumed to exist with no groups. It defaults
+ to ``None``.
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+ :linenos:
+
+ <repozewho1authenticationpolicy
+ identifier_name="auth_tkt"
+ callback=".somemodule.somefunc"
+ />
+
+Alternatives
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You may create an instance of the
+:class:`repoze.bfg.authentication.RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy` and
+pass it to the :class:`repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`
+constructor as the ``authentication_policy`` argument during initial
+application configuration.
