t.c.s.AuthOptionMixin : class documentation

Defines helper methods that can be added on to any usage.Options subclass that needs authentication.

This mixin implements three new options methods:

The opt_auth method (--auth) will write two new values to the 'self' dictionary: credInterfaces (a dict of lists) and credCheckers (a list).

The opt_help_auth method (--help-auth) will search for all available checker plugins and list them for the user; it will exit when finished.

The opt_help_auth_type method (--help-auth-type) will display detailed help for a particular checker plugin.

Class Variables	supportedInterfaces	An iterable object that returns credential interfaces which this application is able to support.
	authOutput	A writeable object to which this options class will send all help-related output. Default: `sys.stdout`

Method	supportsInterface	Returns whether a particular credentials interface is supported.
Method	supportsCheckerFactory	Returns whether a checker factory will provide at least one of the credentials interfaces that we care about.
Method	addChecker	Supply a supplied credentials checker to the Options class.
Method	opt_auth	Specify an authentication method for the server.
Method	opt_help_auth	Show all authentication methods available.
Method	opt_help_auth_type	Show help for a particular authentication type.
Method	_checkerFactoriesForOptHelpAuth	Return a list of which authTypes will be displayed by --help-auth. This makes it a lot easier to test this module.
