My problems whith authkit:

I can't say nothing about authkit docs. My english is very bad. I can't judge it. The code is clear ;-)

AuthKit has many config options. This is a good think. In my work, the people is mad. Many options for flexibility are welcome.

In SVN version, you have a SQLAlchemy driver for store your users in a db. The API is strange. You can assign a group to an a user, but you can't change a user password.

Another thing that dislike me is the data-model. One user belongs to only one group. In my maddy organization I need that a user belongs to a many groups (many roles by person). It's easy to implement your own model whith your own driver. Decorators are great. You don't need change this. With your own driver you don't need a SVN version of AuthKit.

The presentation is another tricky thing. You can redirect to your own url to show a custom auth form. But is not easy to do. You must (or I doing strange things) make code whith paster auth system. Strange.

I don´t like my solution. Is very strange. Very tricky. I'm studing to put it in a composite application. But I want do a cleaner solution.

It's possible do many things with AuthKit. But I don't know if is the correct way.

This discussion shows Pylons needs some kind of flexible but standard system of authentication & authorization. It has also been clear from the past several months that AuthKit provides *a* unified solution for both issues, but it has not gained sufficient acceptance from the Pylons community to be *the* standard.

this comes as a shock to me, I though authkit was defacto just like mako, SA,etc. I'm just starting to read up on authkit, and so far I though it only had outdated documentation, but the fact that noone has back it up as a good path in this thread makes me wonder if I'm doing the right thing. Could someone summarize or point to a summary of the common issues people have with authkit? as for repoze how ready are you? will I have to work of trunk?
