Added Basic Authentication #3

Closed gmazzo closed 12 years ago

gmazzo commented 12 years ago

Hi' I've modified a little your code to allow Basic authentication as well. I needed that for Tortoise SVN

Great work by the way!

Legrandin commented 12 years ago

Thanks a lot!

It is a good idea. At first I was under the impression the same could have been done with mod-auth-ldap, but actually with that you'd also need to hardcode a valid username/password in the apache configuration file, which is something far far from ideal.

Still, I have modified the code a bit so that LDAP is not used at all. :-)

I had code for an NTLM client lying around and I thought it was nice to keep the module as self-contained as possible, so as not to require any other external library (other than PyCrypto).

The Basic authentication request is therefore converted into an NTLM request.

I'm glad it was helpful. I'll try your new version tomorrow at work. Grettings

Hey, you forgot to include 'ntlm_client' on setup.py.
