When using https or other authentication solutions such as single signon etc., the web server provides the authenticated user name in the REMOTE_USER environment variable when running a cgi script.
I would be really nice if fossil cgi could take advantage of this. If REMOTE_USER is set to an existing fossil user name then that user is automatically logged in. If REMOTE_USER is set to a user name that is not present in the fossil user table, then the anonymous user is automatically logged in. This would be a really handy way to integrate fossil with preexisting authentication solutions. Some support seen for this on the mailing list: http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg01711.html "Nothing to contribute other than to say, yeah, that would be pretty cool." NOTE: Supporting REMOTE_USER only makes sense when running in "fossil cgi" mode. | |||
