   Yes, I do raise the error.

>  Either way, could you post a snippet?

from qlib.main import user_db, ResMonitAuth
res_monit_auth = ResMonitAuth(user_db, "ResourceMonitoring")

def _q_access(request): # User authorization
   res_monit_auth.authenticate(request)

...and somewhere deep inside .authenticate() I check login/password and do

   raise AuthorizationError(self.realm)

from quixote.errors import AccessError
class AuthorizationError(AccessError):
   status_code = 401
   title = "Not authorized"
   description = "You are not authorized to access this resource."

   def __init__(self, realm):
      AccessError.__init__(self)
      self.realm = realm

   def format(self, request):
      request.response.set_content_type("text/html")
      request.response.set_header("WWW-Authenticate", 'Basic realm="%s"' %
self.realm)
      return ''
