There is a bug when attempting to use basic authentication with the auth plugins like LDAP.
The bug was that after authentication was successful, a user name was returned rather than a user object.
I just replaced username with user for the two lines appropriate in the login_bare() method.
This should allow others to still use AD/LDAP/etc authentication but use web2py as a REST API.
