6Authentication via Multiple Methods
7
8In some environments, the choice of authentication method to be used
9depends upon the environment and is not "fixed".  This middleware allows
10N authentication methods to be registered along with a goodness function
11which determines which method should be used. The following example
12demonstrates how to use both form and digest authentication in a server
13stack; by default it uses form-based authentication unless
14``*authmeth=digest`` is specified as a query argument.
15
16>>> from paste.auth import form, cookie, digest, multi
17>>> from paste.wsgilib import dump_environ
18>>> from paste.httpserver import serve
19>>>
20>>> multi = multi.MultiHandler(dump_environ)
21>>> def authfunc(environ, realm, user):
22...     return digest.digest_password(realm, user, user)
23>>> multi.add_method('digest', digest.middleware, "Test Realm", authfunc)
24>>> multi.set_query_argument('digest')
25>>>
26>>> def authfunc(environ, username, password):
27...     return username == password
28>>> multi.add_method('form', form.middleware, authfunc)
29>>> multi.set_default('form')
30>>> serve(cookie.middleware(multi))
