It's rather cumbersome: I wouldn't like to ask people to do that every
time they log into the website, not even every once in a while to
regenerate an authentication cookie.

But did I recall reading that Alioth, or debian.org, can be OpenID
providers?  If I can use that, I solved the problem, otherwise, I may
just postpone implementing authenticated stuff until handy OpenID
providers happen in Debian.


Ciao,
