# Module: Guest Authenticate
22
# Pluggable authentication module for LDAP servers.
23
# This module is part-test part-something-you-may-want.
24
# If enabled, it allows "external auth" against an account "guest" with
26
# It may be called with a None user, and will return a guest User object,
27
# which will mean it gets put in the database.
28
# Thus it behaves similarly to a module which retrieves user details from an
29
# external source like LDAP.
30
# This module is NOT active implicitly - it must be specified in the
31
# "auth_modules" config string.
