silva.pas.base 3.0.4

Authentication support for Silva CMS

This package provides a new service for PluggableAuthService (PAS) integration in Silva. Installing it will also create a new PAS acl_user for the Silva Root, pre-configured to add users in it.

In a Silva instance, you cannot mix PAS acl_user and regular Zope 2 one.

This extension require at least Silva 3.0 or higher. For previous release of Silva, please use previous versions of silva.pas.base.

In Silva 3.0, it is installed by default.
