kolibri-desktop-auth-plugin

Authentication backend that allows an HTTP client to authenticate by providing a desktop user token

Testing

This is a kolibri plugin, you need to install the python package in the kolibri python environment using pip and then enable the plugin.

 .../kolibri $ pip install -e ../kolibri-desktop-auth-plugin
 .../kolibri $ kolibri plugin enable kolibri_desktop_auth_plugin

To test you can launch the fake user info dbus daemon included in this repository:

./fake-dbus-daemon.py

After enabling the fake dbus daemon you can try to autologin in your kolibri with the plugin opening the following url in your browser:

http://localhost:8000/kolibri_desktop_auth_plugin/login/TOKEN1

You can change the TOKEN at the end of the url above to test with different user data:

• TOKEN1: adminuser, user with admin rights
• TOKEN2: eosuser, user without admin rights

You can test also with a non existent token that should redirect to the login page.

It's also possible to redirect after the authentication passing the next url as a get parameter to the url, for example:

http://localhost:8000/kolibri_desktop_auth_plugin/login/TOKEN1?next=/learn

Setup the Python environment:

pipenv install

Setup pre-commit:

pipenv run pre-commit install

yarn bump-version patch

This creates a new commit and a git tag. Push this to the remote:

python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal

Finally, upload the .whl file to PyPi:

twine check -s dist/*
twine upload -s dist/*
