Login-based session

So as not to reinvent the wheel, I'd like to be able to key
a cherrypy
session against the logged-in user (which, since I'm using
mod_auth_sspi under Windows I'm going to assume will always
be
present). This means, AFAICT, *not* using a cookie-based
Session
object, but rather one which picks up its id from the
cherrypy.request.login. I've looked through the wiki/groups
but I
can't see a simple recipe which seems to match my needs.

Could someone point me the right way? Or correct my
assumptions?

Thanks
TJG

The current session implementation for CherryPy is cookie
based, and
there are no examples of other session keying methods
AFAIK.

I think basically what you will need to do is create new
callables
similar to cherrypy.lib.sessions.init and
cherrypy.lib.sessions.expire
that deal with request.login instead of the cookie value. 
You will
also need to make a new Tool that hooks up those methods at
the
correct places in the request processing pipeline.  Have a
look at the
current SessionTool in cherrypy/_cptools.py for ideas on how
to do
that.  Once you have custom init and expire functions, you
will
probably be able to just subclass the SessionTool and
override a few
methods, but I can't say for sure.

If you come up with something for this, I would say
definitely post it
to the public wiki (tools.cherrypy.org).  Sounds like a
great tool.
