DEPRECATED: phovea_security_flask

Security manager implementation based on Flask-Login. Additionally, a login module is provided that can be used at client-side.

DEPRECATION Information

Please note that this project has been archived and is no longer being maintained. There is an active development under https://github.com/datavisyn/tdp_core and we will also contribute our future changes to it.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/phovea/phovea_security_flask.git
cd phovea_security_flask
npm install

Testing

npm test

Building

npm run build

Default users

Add new users

Config File

New users are added to phovea_security_flask/config.json.

The python script encryptor.py hashes a given password and prints password, salt, and hashed password.

Environment Variables

Alternatively, you can provide users via environment variables: The UserStore class in phovea_security_flask/dummy_store.py reads all environment variables starting with PHOVEA_USER_ and uses the remainder of the enviroment variable key as username. The environment variable's key has to contain: SALT;HASHED_PW;ROLE1 (multiple roles can be added by seperating them with a semicolon), e.g.:

export PHOVEA_USER_bruce.banner="08c52b567cb947c98be6de6e9ad3919f;2c946ca1b8574d506ee5e7b3b22e350bc8c93b9df647d17e4429e727529c63a62d1fb274ca5a7499bd33c0844e437631728ee9fcba14b41204f21ec8cda523f7;avenger;scientist

Defines the following user:

• Username: bruce.banner
• Salt: 08c52b567cb947c98be6de6e9ad3919f
• Hashed password: 2c946ca1b8574d506ee5e7b3b22e350bc8c93b9df647d17e4429e727529c63a62d1fb274ca5a7499bd33c0844e437631728ee9fcba14b41204f21ec8cda523f7
• Roles: avenger, scientist

NOTE: User credentials defined as environment variables override all users defined in the config.json. This behaviour can be used to define development users inside the config.json, and provide users for production via environment variables when deployed.
