    <p>I am working on a python web application based on the pyramid framework. I am trying to add session authentication to it. By that I understand that:</p> <ul> <li>users can log in/out (security is desirable); user data are kept in a database</li> <li>authentication is handled via the session (<code>request.session</code>)</li> </ul> <p>First off: Is session authentication a good option or are there better ones? Secondly: I can't really make heads or tails of the documentation and examples.</p> <p>So far, I've followed <a href="http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.3-branch/tutorials/wiki2/authorization.html#adding-login-and-logout-views" rel="nofollow">http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.3-branch/tutorials/wiki2/authorization.html#adding-login-and-logout-views</a> so far that I have a login/logout form. However, my <code>authn_policy</code> is a <a href="http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/api/authentication.html#pyramid.authentication.SessionAuthenticationPolicy" rel="nofollow">http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/api/authentication.html#pyramid.authentication.SessionAuthenticationPolicy</a></p> <p>As the session factory in pyramid is insecure (see <a href="http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.3-branch/narr/sessions.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.3-branch/narr/sessions.html</a>), I use *pyramid_beaker* instead.</p> <p>The configuration is: in <code>__init__.py</code>: <code>session_factory = session_factory_from_settings(settings)</code></p> <p>in the .ini file:</p> <pre><code>beaker.session.lock_dir = %(here)s/data/sessions/lock beaker.session.type = ext:database beaker.session.sa.url = mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/db beaker.session.table_name = user_session </code></pre> <p>I hope I was able to make my problem clear.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
