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
