Quickstart

To install:

sh install.sh

or

source install.sh

or

. install.sh

To run:

Just the auth server: ports 7080 and 7443

python -mauthenticity.auth_core

Just the websocket server: ports 8080 and 8443

python -msartre.websvr

(actually the websocket server serves up static files, too)

Authenticity - Authentication Server

Designed to be a mostly-dependency free, standalone, token-based authentication server that's sorta OAuth-ishy. Since OAuth is more of a guideline instead of a protocol, interop doesn't really exist.

Originally, I used bottle for this but I eventually just used straight WSGI for ease of use.

Authenticity uses a pluggable backend. It defaults to an in-memory backend.

Standalone: exists in its own package, seperate from the rest of sartre.

User Interface

These two will be the most frequently used calls:

/auth/grant?u=[username]&p=[password]

grant(u,p)

• u = username

• p = password

  If you authenticate, returns (access_token,username,userinfo)

  If you fail, returns ('','',{})

/auth/valid?t=[accesstoken]&g=[groupname]

valid(t,g)

• t = access token

• g = group name

  Returns: [bool] whether your token is authorized for the group group name

These two are used less often:

/auth/revoke?t=[token]

revoke(t)

• t = token

  What the auth server giveth, it can also taketh away. Note: This just invalidates the token, it doesn't end sessions or free any other resources.

  Returns: {}

/auth/info?t=[token]

info(t)

• t = token

  Reget the user info using the token.

Plug-in Interface

You can use this to switch backends (Auth objects)

set_auth(a)

• a = auth object

  sets the default backend (Auth object) to a

  returns: None

get_auth()

Returns: default backend (Auth object)

Admin Interface

RPC Javascript->Python

• JSON-RPC2 influenced protocol
• uses websockets
• async

Remote Filesystem w/Editor

• load(filename)
• fs_load(filename)
• save(filename,filedata)
• fs_save(filename,filedata)
• filesystem_walk(filename,filedata)
• fs_walk(filename,filedata)

Pub/Sub

• pub(channel,message)
• sub(channellist)
