silva.pas.base 1.6.3

Base PluggableAuthService support for Silva

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 2.3 or higher. For previous release of Silva, please use previous versions of silva.pas.base.

Installation

If you installed Silva using buildout, by getting one from the Infrae SVN repository, or creating one using Paster, you should edit your buildout configuration file buildout.cfg to add or edit the following section:

[instance]

eggs +=
      silva.pas.base

zcml +=
      silva.pas.base

If the section instance wasn’t already in the configuration file, pay attention to re-copy values for eggs and zcml from the profile you use.

After you can restart buildout:

$ ./bin/buildout
