I have a Django web app that I would like to use in a single-sign-on solution for a number of remote apps that use Apache authentication.

I can see how to authenticate Apache from a local Django instance and an old Apache module for doing basic queries off postgresql (but without the syntax support to phrase queries with joins to check Django group permissions)

Any suggestions?

I would like to avoid having to switch to using a directory service in the short term (e.g. ActiveDirectory, LDAP) if possible.

    The following should work for you.

    http://www.openfusion.com.au/labs/mod_auth_tkt/

    You can use the apache module to hit a specific view in your Django app to generate a ticket for valid users. Then all the other applications can do basic authentication against Django via a URL.

    This gives you SSO using the Django user database for legacy apps using HTTP basic authentication.
