how to use external authentification with cobbler 2.x

[Eric Doutreleau]

Hi

i have just migrated from cobbler 1.6.x to xobbler 2.0.3.

I used to use external authentification with CAS and ldap and i have 
made this configuration based on the kerberos page on the wiki
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/CobblerWithKerberos

But as i move to 2.0.x it didn't work anymore.
Then is it possible to make the external authentification work with 2.0.x

Can i still use mod_python handler instead of django?

i have to admit i m a bit puzzled by the update

So this was broken in the move to 2.0.x.  I have a patch to fix it,
but I'd like to get someone else to test it before I push it into the
stable branch.  The trac ticket for tracking that is here.

If you could confirm that the issue is fixed by my branch, I'll go
ahead and merge it to stable and it will be part of the next release.

I found a problem with that patch.  It seems to leak credentials
across sessions.  I've pushed a fix for that to my master branch.  I'm
not entirely happy with the way things will look, but it will work to
get you moving on it for the time being.  I'm hoping to fix this right
in 2.0.4.
