openjd-sessions 0.7.2

Provides a library that can be used to build a runtime that is able to run Jobs in a Session as defined by Open Job Description.

Open Job Description - Sessions for Python

Open Job Description is a flexible open specification for defining render jobs which are portable between studios and render solutions. This package provides a library that can be used to build a runtime that is able to run Jobs in a Session as defined by Open Job Description.

For more information about Open Job Description and our goals with it, please see the Open Job Description Wiki on GitHub.

Compatibility

This library requires:

1. Python 3.9 or higher;
2. Linux, MacOS, or Windows operating system;
3. On Linux/MacOS:
   • sudo
4. On Windows:
   • CPython implementation of Python

Versioning

This package's version follows Semantic Versioning 2.0, but is still considered to be in its initial development, thus backwards incompatible versions are denoted by minor version bumps. To help illustrate how versions will increment during this initial development stage, they are described below:

1. The MAJOR version is currently 0, indicating initial development.
2. The MINOR version is currently incremented when backwards incompatible changes are introduced to the public API.
3. The PATCH version is currently incremented when bug fixes or backwards compatible changes are introduced to the public API.

Contributing

We encourage all contributions to this package. Whether it's a bug report, new feature, correction, or additional documentation, we greatly value feedback and contributions from our community.

Impersonating a User

This library supports running its Session Actions as a different operating system user than the user that is running the library. In the following, we refer to the operating system user that is running this library as the host user and the user that is being impersonated to run actions as the actions user.

This feature exists to:

1. Provide a means to securely isolate the environment and files of the host user from the environment in which the Session Actions are run. Configure your filesystem permissions, and user groups for the host and actions users such that the actions user cannot read, write, or execute any of the host user files that it should not be able to.
2. Provide a way for you to permit access, on a per-Session basis, to specific local and shared filesystem assets to the running Actions running in the Session.

Impersonating a User: POSIX Systems

To run an impersonated Session on POSIX Systems modify the "Running a Session" example as follows:

...
from openjd.sessions import PosixSessionUser
...
user = PosixSessionUser($USERNAME$, password=$PASSWORD_OF_USERNAME$)
...
with Session(
    session_id="demo",
    job_parameter_values=job_parameters,
    callback=action_complete_callback,
    user=user
) as session:
    ...

You must ensure that the host user is able to run commands as the actions user with passwordless sudo by, for example, adding a rule like follows to your sudoers file or making the equivalent change in your user permissions directory:

host ALL=(actions) NOPASSWD: ALL

Impersonating a User: Windows Systems

To run an impersonated Session on Windows Systems modify the "Running a Session" example as follows:

...
from openjd.sessions import WindowsSessionUser
...
# If you're running in an interactive logon session (e.g. cmd or powershell on your desktop)
user = WindowsSessionUser($USERNAME$, password=$PASSWORD_OF_USERNAME$)
# If you're running in a Windows Service
user = WindowsSessionUser($USERNAME$, logon_token=user_logon_token)
# Where `user_logon_token` is a token that you have created that is compatible
# with the Win32 API: CreateProcessAsUser
...
with Session(
    session_id="demo",
    job_parameter_values=job_parameters,
    callback=action_complete_callback,
    user=user
) as session:
    ...

If running in a Windows Service, then you must ensure that:

1. The host user is an Administrator, LocalSystem, or LocalService user as your security posture requires; and
2. The host user has the Replace a process level token privilege.

Downloading

You can download this package from:

• PyPI
• GitHub releases

Verifying GitHub Releases

You can verify the authenticity of the release artifacts using the gpg command line tool.

1. Download the desired release artifacts from the GitHub releases page. Make sure to download the corresponding PGP signature file (ending with .sig) as well. For example, if you would like to verify your download of the wheel for version 1.2.3, you should have the following files downloaded:

   openjd_sessions-1.2.3-py3-none-any.whl
   openjd_sessions-1.2.3-py3-none-any.whl.sig
   

2. Install the gpg command line tool. The installation process varies by operating system. Please refer to the GnuPG website for instructions: https://gnupg.org/download/

3. Save the following contents to a file called openjobdescription-pgp.asc:

4. Import the OpenPGP key for Open Job Description by running the following command:

   gpg --import --armor openjobdescription-pgp.asc
   

5. Determine whether to trust the OpenPGP key. Some factors to consider when deciding whether or not to trust the above key are:

   • The internet connection you’ve used to obtain the GPG key from this website is secure
   • The device that you are accessing this website on is secure

   If you have decided to trust the OpenPGP key, then edit the key to trust with gpg like the following example:

   $ gpg --edit-key A2F0F059BCC40987
