Project description

This package provides an authentication viewlet implementation for Zope3.

Login and logout

Setup

The layout page template has to include two content providers (viewlet mangers):

login-logout-head inside the head tag to get automatic redirects and JavaScript code which does the logout for basic auth and

login-logout inside the body tag to get login and logout links.

The sample template looks like this:

>>> import os.path
>>> template_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "tests",
...     "login-logout-template.pt")
>>> with open(template_path, "r") as t:
...     print(t.read())
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
    <tal:block replace="structure provider:login-logout-head" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <tal:block replace="structure provider:login-logout" />
    <tal:block replace="structure provider:pagelet" />
  </body>
</html>

This template is registered for the IContainer interface in ftesting.zcml. After creating a container the template is used when browsing the container:

>>> from zope.container.btree import BTreeContainer
>>> layer.getRootFolder()['container'] = BTreeContainer()

Basic auth

When the user is not logged in the login link is displayed:

>>> from zope.testbrowser.wsgi import Browser
>>> skinURL = 'http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/'
>>> wsgi_app = layer.make_wsgi_app()
>>> browser = Browser(wsgi_app=wsgi_app)
>>> browser.handleErrors = False
>>> browser.open(skinURL + 'container/@@default.html')
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html'
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <a href="http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@login.html?nextURL=http%3A//localhost/%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin/container/%40%40default.html">Login</a>
  </body>
</html>

Selecting the link leads to the login page, as we use basic auth here, we get an HTTP error 401 (unauthorized):

>>> login_url = browser.getLink('Login').url
>>> browser.raiseHttpErrors = False
>>> browser.getLink('Login').click()
>>> print(browser.headers['status'])
401 Unauthorized
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@login.html?nextURL=http%3A//localhost/%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin/container/%40%40default.html

When adding correct credentials we get authorized:

>>> browser.addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic mgr:mgrpw')
>>> browser.open(browser.url)

We are redirected to the page where we selected the login link. After logging in the login link is no longer displayed. As we did not specify that logout is supported, no logout link is displayed:

>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Calling the login URL again leads directly to the page referred in nextURL:

>>> browser.open(login_url)
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Calling the login URL again without the query parameter leeds to a confirmation page telling that login was successfull:

>>> browser.open(login_url.split('?')[0])
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@login.html
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
<head>
<title>PageletTestLayout</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
   <h1>Login successful!</h1>
   <p style="font-size: 200%"> You are now logged in as <em>Manager</em>. </p>
   <a href=".">Back to the main page.</a>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Selecting the Back to the main page. link send the user back to the default view of the container. (ftesting.zcml defines @@default.html as the default view.):

>>> browser.getLink('Back to the main page.').click()
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Providing an ILogoutSupported adapter leads to a logout link being displayed:

>>> import zope.component
>>> import zope.interface
>>> import zope.authentication.logout
>>> import zope.authentication.interfaces
>>> zope.component.provideAdapter(
...     zope.authentication.logout.LogoutSupported,
...     adapts=[zope.interface.Interface],
...     provides=zope.authentication.interfaces.ILogoutSupported)
>>> browser.reload()
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <a href="http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@logout.html?nextURL=http%3A//localhost/%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin/container/%40%40default.html">Logout</a>
  </body>
</html>

Logout is done using JavaScript and a redirect. zope.testbrowser >= 5.0 does not follow redirects if they use the meta tag.

As testbrowser is not able to execute JavaScript the user remains authenticated:

>>> logout_url = browser.getLink('Logout').url
>>> browser.getLink('Logout').click()
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@logout.html?nextURL=http%3A//localhost/%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin/container/%40%40default.html
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
  // clear HTTP Authentication
  ...
  //-->
</script>
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
      content="0;url=http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <a href="http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@logout.html/@@logout.html?nextURL=http%3A//localhost/%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin/container/%40%40logout.html">Logout</a>
    <div>
  <h1>You are being redirected!</h1>
  <p style="font-size: 150%">
    <a href="http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html">
      If you see this screen for more than 5 seconds, click here.
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
  </body>
</html>

Calling the logout URL again after logout (simulated using a new browser instance) leads directly to the page referred in nextURL:

>>> browser2 = Browser(logout_url, wsgi_app=wsgi_app)
>>> print(browser2.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html
>>> print(browser2.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>

  </body>
</html>

Calling the logout URL again without the query parameter leeds to a confirmation page telling that logout was successfull:

>>> browser2.open(logout_url.split('?')[0])
>>> print(browser2.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@logout.html
>>> print(browser2.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--

  </head>
  <body>
    <a href="http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/logout.html/@@login.html?nextURL=http%3A//localhost/%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin/container/%40%40logout.html">Login</a>
    <div>
  <h1>Logout successful!</h1>
  <p style="font-size: 200%">
    You are now logged out.
  </p>
  <a href=".">Back to the main page.</a>
</div>
  </body>
</html>

Cookie auth

To do cookie auth we have to set up a pluggable auth utility (PAU) with a authenticator plug-in (principal folder) first:

>>> from zope.authentication.interfaces import IAuthentication
>>> from zope.pluggableauth.interfaces import IAuthenticatorPlugin
>>> from zope.pluggableauth.authentication import PluggableAuthentication
>>> from zope.pluggableauth.plugins.principalfolder import PrincipalFolder
>>> from zope.site import site

>>> root = layer.getRootFolder()
>>> root['principal_folder'] = PrincipalFolder()
>>> sm = root.getSiteManager()
>>> sm.registerUtility(
...     root['principal_folder'], IAuthenticatorPlugin, 'principal_folder')

>>> root['auth'] = PluggableAuthentication()
>>> sm.registerUtility(root['auth'], IAuthentication, '')
>>> root['auth'].credentialsPlugins = (u'Session Credentials',)
>>> root['auth'].authenticatorPlugins = (u'principal_folder',)

We need a principal inside the principal folder:

>>> from zope.pluggableauth.plugins.principalfolder import InternalPrincipal
>>> root['principal_folder']['1'] = InternalPrincipal(
...     'tester', 'tpass', 'Tester')

We use a new browser, so the principal is not logged in and the login link is displayed:

>>> browser = Browser(wsgi_app=wsgi_app)
>>> browser.open(skinURL + 'container/@@default.html')
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <a href="http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@login.html?nextURL=http%3A//localhost/%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin/container/%40%40default.html">Login</a>
  </body>
</html>

Selecting the link leads to the login page:

>>> login_url = browser.getLink('Login').url
>>> browser.getLink('Login').click()
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/@@loginForm.html?camefrom=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin%2Fcontainer%2F%40%40login.html%3FnextURL%3Dhttp%253A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F%252B%252Bskin%252B%252BPageletTestSkin%2Fcontainer%2F%2540%2540default.html

After entering a correct username and password the user gets authorized:

>>> browser.getControl('User Name').value = 'tester'
>>> browser.getControl('Password').value = 'tpass'
>>> browser.getControl('Log in').click()

The user gets redirected to the page where he selected the login link. After logging in the login link is no longer displayed. As we already specified that logout is supported, a logout link is displayed:

>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html ...>
  <head>
    <title>PageletTest</title>

  <body>
    <a href="http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@logout.html?nextURL=http%3A//localhost/%2B%2Bskin%2B%2BPageletTestSkin/container/%40%40default.html">Logout</a>
  </body>
</html>

Calling the login URL again leads directly to the page referred in nextURL:

>>> browser.open(login_url)
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@default.html
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>

  </body>
</html>

Calling the login URL again without the query parameter leeds to a confirmation page telling that login was successfull:

>>> browser.open(login_url.split('?')[0])
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/@@login.html
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>

   <p style="font-size: 200%"> You are now logged in as <em>Tester</em>. </p>
   <a href=".">Back to the main page.</a>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Selecting the Back to the main page. link send the user back to the default view of the container. (ftesting.zcml defines @@default.html as the default view.):

>>> browser.getLink('Back to the main page.').click()
>>> print(browser.url)
http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/container/
>>> print(browser.contents)

  </body>
</html>

Selecting the displayed logout link drops authentication information and displays a confirmation page, which redirects to the default page where the login link is displayed again:

>>> logout_url = browser.getLink('Logout').url
>>> browser.getLink('Logout').click()
>>> print(browser.contents)

  <p style="font-size: 200%">
    You are now logged out.
  </p>
  <a href=".">Back to the main page.</a>
</div>
  </body>

If the parameter camefrom is used twice, only the first one is actually used:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/++skin++PageletTestSkin/@@loginForm.html?camefrom=first-url&camefrom=second-url')
>>> print(browser.contents)
<!DOCTYPE ...>
...
    <div class="row">

    </div>
    <input type="hidden" name="camefrom" value="first-url">

</div>
</body>
</html>
>>> 'second-url' in browser.contents
False
