Debug Authentication Policy for Pyramid

Project description

Debug Authentication Policy for Pyramid. Provide a simple and standard way to define the pyramid principals from the HTTP client.

Warning: This pyramid is totally unsafe for production and should be restricted to debug usage / development phase.

Installation

Install using setuptools, e.g. (within a virtualenv):

$ pip install pyramid_debugauth

Setup

Once pyramid_debugauth is installed, you can define a authentication policy with config.set_authentication_policy.

In your Pyramid project:

from pyramid.authorization import ACLAuthorizationPolicy
from pyramid_debugauth import DebugAuthenticationPolicy

config = Configurator(.....)
config.set_authentication_policy(DebugAuthenticationPolicy())
config.set_authorization_policy(ACLAuthorizationPolicy())

Usage

The DebugAuthenticationPolicy allows a client to impersonate any user and specify any number of principals desired using the standard Authorization http header and a non-standard auth-scheme Debug (RFC 7235):

Authorization: Debug user_id [principal_1] [principal_2] ...

With common http clients:

$ curl http://localhost:6543 -H 'Authorization: Debug bob admin'

$ http http://localhost:6543 'Authorization: Debug bob admin'

Or using a non-standard authorization query parameter:

http://localhost:6543/protected?authorization=debug%20user_id%20principal_1

With common http clients:

$ curl http://localhost:6543?authorization=debug%20bob%20admin

$ http http://localhost:6543?authorization=debug\ bob\ admin

Development

Running tests:

$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ pip install -e .[dev]
(venv)$ nosetests
