Python - Intranet Web Service

Question

About to embark on a Java project using Spring Security to create a Restful Web Service (JSON) that will use Kerberos authentication to authenticate users in Active Directory.

I'm not locked into using Java and am considering the use of Python to gain new skills and look at potential alternative platforms.

So far I have looked at Twisted and Web2Py but they don't seem to have support for Kerberos nor could I find information around implementing Kerberos support.

Does anyone know of frameworks supporting the above deployment or pointers to get me started?

Answer 1

Python Eve is a restful api written in Python that uses mongo as its backend.

It provides a simple class that you can use to implement your own authentication which would allow you to use the python kerberos module

I use this setup but with ldap instead of kerb.

The underlying web framwork behind eve is Flask.
