twisted.conch.checkers.SSHPublicKeyChecker

class documentation

class SSHPublicKeyChecker: (source)

Checker that authenticates SSH public keys, based on public keys listed in authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 files in user .ssh/ directories.

Present Since
15.0

Method	`__init__`	Initializes a `SSHPublicKeyChecker`.
Method	`requestAvatarId`	Validate credentials and produce an avatar ID.
Class Variable	`credentialInterfaces`	A list of sub-interfaces of `ICredentials` which specifies which I may check.
Method	`_checkKey`	Checks the public key against all authorized keys (if any) for the user.
Method	`_sanityCheckKey`	Checks whether the provided credentials are a valid SSH key with a signature (does not actually verify the signature).
Method	`_verifyKey`	Checks whether the credentials themselves are valid, now that we know if the key matches the user.
Instance Variable	`_keydb`	Undocumented

def __init__(self, keydb): (source)

Initializes a SSHPublicKeyChecker.

Parameters
keydb:`IAuthorizedKeysDB` provider	a provider of `IAuthorizedKeysDB`

def requestAvatarId(self, credentials): (source)

from twisted.cred.checkers.ICredentialsChecker

Validate credentials and produce an avatar ID.

Parameters
credentials	something which implements one of the interfaces in `credentialInterfaces`.
Returns
a `Deferred` which will fire with a `bytes` that identifies an avatar, an empty tuple to specify an authenticated anonymous user (provided as `twisted.cred.checkers.ANONYMOUS`) or fail with `UnauthorizedLogin`. Alternatively, return the result itself.

credentialInterfaces = (source)

from twisted.cred.checkers.ICredentialsChecker

A list of sub-interfaces of ICredentials which specifies which I may check.

def _checkKey(self, pubKey, credentials): (source)

Checks the public key against all authorized keys (if any) for the user.

Parameters
pubKey:	the key in the credentials (just to prevent it from having to be calculated again)
credentials:`ISSHPrivateKey` provider	the credentials offered by the user
Returns
`twisted.conch.ssh.keys.Key`	`pubKey` if the key is authorized
Raises
`UnauthorizedLogin`	If the key is not authorized, or if there was any error obtaining a list of authorized keys for the user.

def _sanityCheckKey(self, credentials): (source)

Checks whether the provided credentials are a valid SSH key with a signature (does not actually verify the signature).

Parameters
credentials:`ISSHPrivateKey` provider	the credentials offered by the user
Returns
`twisted.conch.ssh.keys.Key`	the key in the credentials
Raises
`ValidPublicKey`	the credentials do not include a signature. See `error.ValidPublicKey` for more information.
`BadKeyError`	The key included with the credentials is not recognized as a key.

def _verifyKey(self, pubKey, credentials): (source)

Checks whether the credentials themselves are valid, now that we know if the key matches the user.

Parameters
pubKey:`twisted.conch.ssh.keys.Key`	the key in the credentials (just to prevent it from having to be calculated again)
credentials:`ISSHPrivateKey` provider	the credentials offered by the user
Returns
`bytes`	The user's username, if authentication was successful
Raises
`UnauthorizedLogin`	If the key signature is invalid or there was any error verifying the signature.
