I am currently running python on an Windows NT Server. We only want certain
|
||
|
|
pages to be accessed by people with accounts on the server in order to
|
||
|
|
update a database through python. Using this code:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
def main():
|
||
|
|
if not os.environ.has_key("REMOTE_USER"):
|
||
|
|
print "HTTP/1.0 401 Access Denied"
|
||
|
|
print "Status: 401 Authenication Required"
|
||
|
|
print "WWW-authenticate: Basic;"
|
||
|
|
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n\n"
|
||
|
|
else:
|
||
|
|
print "Worked"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I was able to get an authentication box to pop up in both netscape and ie,
|
||
|
|
but when a user who is not an administrator tries to authenticate it
|
||
|
|
doesn't accept the username / password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Is this a good way to go about authentication in python or is there another
|
||
|
|
library to interface with the browsers and the NT user database?
|
||
|
|
Furthermore, I'm relatively sure that the problem lies in user permissions,
|
||
|
|
but I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting. Where is the os.environ
|
||
|
|
'kept'?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any help would be appriciated.
