Part of twisted.spread.pb View Source View In Hierarchy

Known implementations: twisted.spread.pb._PortalAuthChallenger

I encapsulate a username and a hashed password.

This credential is used for username/password over PB. CredentialCheckers which check this kind of credential must store the passwords in plaintext form or as a MD5 digest.

Instance Variable	username	The username associated with these credentials. (type: `str` or `Deferred`)
Method	checkPassword	Validate these credentials against the correct password.
Method	checkMD5Password	Validate these credentials against the correct MD5 digest of the password.

username =

def checkPassword(password): (source)

Validate these credentials against the correct password.

Parameters	password	The correct, plaintext password against which to check. (type: `str`)

def checkMD5Password(password): (source)

Validate these credentials against the correct MD5 digest of the password.

Parameters	password	The correct MD5 digest of a password against which to check. (type: `str`)
Returns	`True` if the credentials represented by this object match the given digest, `False` if they do not, or a `Deferred` which will be called back with one of these values. (type: `bool` or `Deferred`)
