Simple PlonePAS Example

In this tutorial you will build a simple authentication plugin using PlonePAS. There are a couple documents that provide various details for writing PlonePAS plugins but nothing that covered all of the things I had to do in order to get something working. This tutorial will hopefully accomplish that.

  1. Overview This tutorial will leave you with a working PlonePAS plugin that can authenticate using a repository of users external to Plone.
  2. Creating the Plugin Create a new Plone product using paster and add a new PAS plugin.
  3. Wiring It All Up Having created the plugin it is now time to register it with the framework.
  4. Final Notes Having created a basic authorization plugin here are some thoughts for further development.
