Overview

Auto-registers and re-authenticates anonymous users based on a single token that’s stored in the session. This is for anonymous posting of blog comments, editing wikipages etc. and allows to do such things as:

• store user information in the user table (which keeps the model and db structure clean) and

• allow users to (e.g.) edit their comment based on this anonymous login.
