This is how you add basic authentication to your Juno_ app:

.. code-block:: python

    init({
        'middleware':[('paste.auth.basic.AuthBasicHandler',
                          {'realm':'Admin',
                           'authfunc':valid_user})],
        })

Where valid_user is the obvious function that takes user/pass and returns true/false.

Not exactly a sophisticated role-based auth, but I don't need that for my app (LDAP's access controls take care of it).
