How to access Pylons config from a repoze.who authenticator

Question

I'm trying to access the Pylons configuration from inside a repoze.who "authenticator".. I'm using from pylons import config, but it looks like it returns a configuration with default values, not the ones from production.ini.. What am I missing?

Answer 1

You must using pylons.config after calling load_environment(global_conf, app_conf) in config/middleware.py or use direct app_conf

Answer 2

Found a thread that suggests two options:

1. Passing the config directly to the authenticator instance during middleware setup
2. Adding a pylons.config.update(config) at the bottom of load_environment
