Working with Sessions and User Authentication
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Pecan provides no opinionated support for managing user sessions,
|
|
but it's easy to hook into your session framework of choice with minimal
|
|
effort.
|
|
|
|
This article details best practices for integrating the popular session
|
|
framework, `Beaker <http://beaker.groovie.org>`_, into your Pecan project.
|
|
|
|
Setting up Session Management
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are several approaches that can be taken to set up session management.
|
|
One approach is WSGI middleware. Another is Pecan :ref:`hooks`.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of wrapping your WSGI application with Beaker's
|
|
:class:`~beaker.middleware.SessionMiddleware` in your project's ``app.py``.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
from pecan import conf, make_app
|
|
from beaker.middleware import SessionMiddleware
|
|
from test_project import model
|
|
|
|
app = make_app(
|
|
...
|
|
)
|
|
app = SessionMiddleware(app, conf.beaker)
|
|
|
|
And a corresponding dictionary in your configuration file.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
beaker = {
|
|
'session.key' : 'sessionkey',
|
|
'session.type' : 'cookie',
|
|
'session.validate_key' : '05d2175d1090e31f42fa36e63b8d2aad',
|
|
'__force_dict__' : True
|
|
}
