Use new repoapi for the web stack The publisher now link repoapi.ClientConnection to request. and explicitly control there scope. Web side, appobject._cw.cnx is now a repoapi.ClientConnection. This actually kill webonly possibility until the repoapi is able to use some RPC. The change in the authentication stack is very hasty and need cleanup
