pas.plugins.external_auth Description

pas.plugins.external_auth propose a plugin for Zope PAS not only to manage authentication from an external source, mostly HTTP headers provided by some SSO, thing it does in a scriptable and highly configurable manner, but also to manage groups definition, groups belonging, and users properties .The use case this package was created for was to integrate a Shibboleth SSO for Plone coupled with a group management application known as GROUPER, at University of geneva. In our case, Shibboleth, the SSO, fill up headers from GROUPER groups definitions and we needed them in Plone to manage local roles and permissions.Installation in ZopeOnce this is done you can use provided profiles to populate your PAS. Two of them are provided for version 3 and 4 of Plone as default unconfigured example. The one which is used by cmfquickinstaller is targeted at Plone 4 empty profile so you could just install the product with plone control panel.Those profiles are more examples than real use case. They are intended to be used as a basis for a real profile correspondig to your configuration, unless you prefer to just use TTW ZMI configuration. Anyway using the install product through zope for external_auth has not much sense except for quickly evaluating the product.Once ou have configured at least one plugin in acl_users, go into ZMI management page of tyhis plugin and follow the main page configuration instructions.Product's homepage
