t.c.s.a.SSHAgentClient(protocol.Protocol) : class documentation

Part of twisted.conch.ssh.agent View Source View In Hierarchy

Known subclasses: twisted.conch.client.agent.SSHAgentClient

The client side of the SSH agent protocol. This is equivalent to ssh-add(1) and can be used with either ssh-agent(1) or the SSHAgentServer protocol, also in this package.

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	dataReceived	Called whenever data is received.
Method	sendRequest	Undocumented
Method	requestIdentities
Method	addIdentity	Add a private key blob to the agent's collection of keys.
Method	signData	Request that the agent sign the given `data` with the private key
Method	removeIdentity	Remove the private key corresponding to the public key in blob from the
Method	removeAllIdentities	Remove all keys from the running agent.
Method	_cbRequestIdentities	Unpack a collection of identities into a list of tuples comprised of
Method	_cbSignData	Undocumented

Inherited from Protocol:

Method

connectionLost

Called when the connection is shut down.

Inherited from BaseProtocol (via Protocol):

Method	makeConnection	Make a connection to a transport and a server.
Method	connectionMade	Called when a connection is made.

def __init__(self): (source)

overridden in twisted.conch.client.agent.SSHAgentClient

Undocumented

def dataReceived(self, data): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocol

overrides twisted.internet.protocol.Protocol.dataReceived

Called whenever data is received.

Use this method to translate to a higher-level message. Usually, some callback will be made upon the receipt of each complete protocol message.

Parameters data a string of indeterminate length. Please keep in mind that you will probably need to buffer some data, as partial (or multiple) protocol messages may be received! I recommend that unit tests for protocols call through to this method with differing chunk sizes, down to one byte at a time.

def sendRequest(self, reqType, data): (source)

Undocumented

def requestIdentities(self): (source)

Returns A Deferred which will fire with a list of all keys found in the SSH agent. The list of keys is comprised of (public key blob, comment) tuples.

def _cbRequestIdentities(self, data): (source)

Unpack a collection of identities into a list of tuples comprised of public key blobs and comments.

def addIdentity(self, blob, comment=''): (source)

Add a private key blob to the agent's collection of keys.

def signData(self, blob, data): (source)

Request that the agent sign the given data with the private key which corresponds to the public key given by blob. The private key should have been added to the agent already.

Parameters	blob	(type: `str` )
	data	(type: `str` )
Returns	A `Deferred` which fires with a signature for given data created with the given key.

def _cbSignData(self, data): (source)

Undocumented

def removeIdentity(self, blob): (source)

Remove the private key corresponding to the public key in blob from the running agent.

def removeAllIdentities(self): (source)

Remove all keys from the running agent.
