This plugin implements authentication from an https service.
|
|
|
|
Upon installation, the mangament forms allow you to configure:
|
|
* the url to the service,
|
|
* the parameter that will contain the username
|
|
* the parameter that will contain the password
|
|
* The expected authorization response regex (returned from the authorization service).
|
|
* The default role that authorized users will be assinged upon their first login
|
|
|
|
The https auth source posts a request over https to the named service with the username and
|
|
passowrd passed according to the parameters defined in the configuration. It will attempt
|
|
to match the authorization pattern specified, and if the pattern is found, the user will be
|
|
authenticated.
|
|
|
|
Once a user has logged in, they will appear in xuf user list, and their roles can be updated.
|
|
|
|
This auth source has been developed using the zodbBTreeProps plugin, and stores the user's
|
|
roles in this property tool.
|
|
|
|
A typical use case for this authorization service might be to authenticate against
|
|
a legacy user directory for which no xuf auth plugin currently exists. Hopefully, the
|
|
development of a the auth service on the other end will be trivial, or better yet,
|
|
already exist.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to use this plugin you must compile your python to include
|
|
ssl support. The python that ships with zope 2.X does not have this enabled by default.
