2011-05-25Added a simple session-based authentication policy.Michael Merickel
2011-04-13- Make ``pyramid.interfaces.IAuthenticationPolicy`` andChris McDonough
``pyramid.interfaces.IAuthorizationPolicy`` public interfaces, and refer to them within the ``pyramid.authentication`` and ``pyramid.authorization`` API docs. - Render the function definitions for each exposed interface in ``pyramid.interfaces``. Closes #167.
2011-01-01- The class ``pyramid.authentication.AuthTktCookieHelper`` is now an API.Chris McDonough
This class can be used by third-party authentication policy developers to help in the mechanics of authentication cookie-setting.
2010-10-25convert API docs to PyramidChris McDonough
2009-12-23- Added the ``repoze.bfg.authentication``,Chris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.authorization``, and ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` modules to API documentation.
2009-07-01- Deprecate the ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy``Chris McDonough
arguments to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``. Instead, developers should use the various authentication policy ZCML directives (``repozewho1authenticationpolicy``, ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` and ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``) and the `aclauthorizationpolicy`` authorization policy directive as described in the changes to the "Security" narrative documentation chapter and the wiki tutorials.
2009-05-30- Add an AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy. This policy retrievesChris McDonough
credentials from an auth_tkt cookie managed by the application itself (instead of relying on an upstream data source for authentication data). See the Security API chapter of the documentation for more info. - Allow RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy and RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy to accept various constructor arguments. See the Security API chapter of the documentation for more info.
