This is a piece of middleware that reports the logged-in user back to Apache. This should cause the logged-in user to be present in the apache access log.
Put it in settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
after AuthenticationMiddleware
.
This has been tested with mod_python but does not work with wsgi.

Unfortunately, this does not work with mod_wsgi. Any hints on how to get it working?
