kalliopepbx 0.0.3

Kalliope PBX login and communication module

Python KalliopePBX authentication module

Communication module for Kalliope PBX servers
(see Kalliope PBX for more informations).

IMPORTANT

Experimental
Tested only locally and not against a proper Kalliope server
Not an official project of Kalliope or Netresult S.r.l.

Install

To install from Pypi using pip:

pip install kalliopepbx

Or to install directly from git sources:

git clone https://gitlab.com/geusebi/kalliope.git
cd kalliope
python setup.py install --user

To install kalliopepbx system-wide, remove --user from the last line and use sudo or other subsystems to run the command as a privileged user.

Usage example

from kalliopepbx import Session

endpoint = "http://user:password@192.168.1.1/"
conn = Session(endpoint)

accounts = conn.get("/rest/account").json()
print(accounts)

Session

Event though Kalliope servers aren't session-aware a session object helps regenerating the needed authentication header on every request.

To create a new session use a connection string in the format:

Session("scheme://user:password@host:port/tenants_domain")

Where:

• scheme is either http or https (default: "http"),
• user and password are the credentials (optional),
• host is the hostname or ip address,
• port is the port to connect to (optional),
• tenants_domain is the domain of the tenant (default: "default").

If the scheme is not specified then the default one (http) is used but be aware that you still need to place the double slash in front of the url as per RFC 1808.

Username and password must be both present or both missing. If you wish to give the credentials later use Session.login. Without login information any requests will be performed unauthenticated.

The default tenant's domain is "default".

conn = Session("http://admin:nimda@192.168.1.1")

response1 = conn.get("/rest/dashboard")
response2 = conn.get("/rest/account")

print("Req 1:", response1.request.headers["X-authenticate"])
print("Req 2:", response2.request.headers["X-authenticate"])

Req 1: RestApiUsernameToken Username="admin", Domain="default", Digest="FLExUJyV4pPMr20o6e7TorEsdfZxkqvJcBNCe1nxecE=", Nonce="2dc477ac10d6c07b3fe008f636037733", Created="2020-10-30T15:33:04Z"
Req 2: RestApiUsernameToken Username="admin", Domain="default", Digest="69jCdIIXk0pT/f6CJZB9E+UacP2fnFVFMBqUuYIbGhs=", Nonce="33e79f33fbc4ac535ed3183dfac97de6", Created="2020-10-30T15:33:08Z"

Auth

The kalliopepbx.Auth is a standalone class that can be used to generate headers given the credentials and salt value.

from kalliopepbx import Auth

salt = fetch_salt_value(...) #  5ebe2294ecd0e0f08eab7690d2a6ee69

auth = Auth("admin", "nimda", "default", salt)
print(auth.xauth())

{'X-authenticate': 'RestApiUsernameToken Username="admin", Domain="default", Digest="8V5nQKp9GoCvhv5J+s3REprWXvH0txZJwmZdaKoJAyQ=", Nonce="62f230121d1d99cef5c8cb83c96cf6c4", Created="2020-10-30T15:33:12Z"'}

The method Auth.xauth returns a dict with the newly generated token and resets itself for the generation of the next one.

The salt value must be fetched and provided either while creating the object or setting it in a second moment (auth.salt = value).

For testing purposes, the reset phase, can be inhibited with reset=False. To quickly inspect the values it's also possible to print the Auth object instance, i.e. print(auth)

X-authenticate: RestApiUsernameToken Username="admin", Domain="default", Digest="8V5nQKp9GoCvhv5J+s3REprWXvH0txZJwmZdaKoJAyQ=", Nonce="62f230121d1d99cef5c8cb83c96cf6c4", Created="2020-10-30T15:33:12Z"

KalliopeAuth

The requests.AuthBase implementation is used by kalliopepbx.Session to update requests' headers. It is created upon login by kalliopepbx.Session itself. The salt value is automatically fetched from the server.
