twisted.web._auth.digest.DigestCredentialFactory : API documentation

Support for RFC2617 HTTP Digest Authentication

Parameters	algorithm	Case insensitive string specifying the hash algorithm to use. Must be either `'md5'` or `'sha'`. `'md5-sess'` is not supported.
	authenticationRealm	case sensitive string that specifies the realm portion of the challenge
Instance Variables	privateKey	A random string used for generating the secure opaque. (type: `str` )
Class Variables	CHALLENGE_LIFETIME_SECS	The number of seconds for which an opaque should be valid.

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	generateNonce	Create a random value suitable for use as the nonce parameter of a WWW-Authenticate challenge.
Method	generateOpaque	Generate an opaque to be returned to the client. This is a unique string that can be returned to us and verified.
Method	verifyOpaque	Given the opaque and nonce from the request, as well as the clientip that made the request, verify that the opaque was generated by us. And that it's not too old.
Method	getChallenge	Generate the challenge for use in the WWW-Authenticate header
Method	decode	Decode the given response and attempt to generate a `DigestedCredentials` from it.
Method	_getTime	Parameterize the time based seed used in generateOpaque so we can deterministically unittest it's behavior.

def __init__(self, algorithm, authenticationRealm): (source)

Undocumented

def generateNonce(self): (source)

Create a random value suitable for use as the nonce parameter of a WWW-Authenticate challenge.

Returns (type: str )

def _getTime(self): (source)

Parameterize the time based seed used in generateOpaque so we can deterministically unittest it's behavior.

def generateOpaque(self, nonce, clientip): (source)

Generate an opaque to be returned to the client. This is a unique string that can be returned to us and verified.

def verifyOpaque(self, opaque, nonce, clientip): (source)

Given the opaque and nonce from the request, as well as the clientip that made the request, verify that the opaque was generated by us. And that it's not too old.

Parameters	opaque	The opaque value from the Digest response
	nonce	The nonce value from the Digest response
	clientip	The remote IP address of the client making the request or `None` if the request was submitted over a channel where this does not make sense.
Returns	`True` if the opaque was successfully verified.
Raises	error.LoginFailed	if `opaque` could not be parsed or contained the wrong values.

def getChallenge(self, request): (source)

from twisted.web.iweb.ICredentialFactory

Generate the challenge for use in the WWW-Authenticate header

Parameters	request	The `IRequest` to with access was denied and for the response to which this challenge is being generated.
Returns	The `dict` that can be used to generate a WWW-Authenticate header.

def decode(self, response, request): (source)

from twisted.web.iweb.ICredentialFactory

Decode the given response and attempt to generate a DigestedCredentials from it.

Parameters	response	A string of comma seperated key=value pairs (type: `str` )
	request	the request being processed (type: `twisted.web2.server.Request` )
Returns	`DigestedCredentials`
Raises	error.LoginFailed	If the response does not contain a username, a nonce, an opaque, or if the opaque is invalid.
