twisted.cred.strcred.AuthOptionMixin

class documentation

class AuthOptionMixin: (source)

Defines helper methods that can be added on to any usage.Options subclass that needs authentication.

This mixin implements three new options methods:

The opt_auth method (--auth) will write two new values to the 'self' dictionary: credInterfaces (a dict of lists) and credCheckers (a list).

The opt_help_auth method (--help-auth) will search for all available checker plugins and list them for the user; it will exit when finished.

The opt_help_auth_type method (--help-auth-type) will display detailed help for a particular checker plugin.

Method	`addChecker`	Supply a supplied credentials checker to the Options class.
Method	`opt_auth`	Specify an authentication method for the server.
Method	`opt_help_auth`	Show all authentication methods available.
Method	`opt_help_auth_type`	Show help for a particular authentication type.
Method	`supportsCheckerFactory`	Returns whether a checker factory will provide at least one of the credentials interfaces that we care about.
Method	`supportsInterface`	Returns whether a particular credentials interface is supported.
Class Variable	`authOutput`	A writeable object to which this options class will send all help-related output. Default: `sys.stdout`
Class Variable	`supportedInterfaces`	An iterable object that returns credential interfaces which this application is able to support.
Method	`_checkerFactoriesForOptHelpAuth`	Return a list of which authTypes will be displayed by --help-auth. This makes it a lot easier to test this module.

def addChecker(self, checker): (source)

overridden in twisted.conch.tap.Options

Supply a supplied credentials checker to the Options class.

def opt_auth(self, description): (source)

Specify an authentication method for the server.

def opt_help_auth(self): (source)

Show all authentication methods available.

def opt_help_auth_type(self, authType): (source)

Show help for a particular authentication type.

def supportsCheckerFactory(self, factory): (source)

Returns whether a checker factory will provide at least one of the credentials interfaces that we care about.

def supportsInterface(self, interface): (source)

Returns whether a particular credentials interface is supported.

authOutput = (source)

A writeable object to which this options class will send all help-related output. Default: sys.stdout

supportedInterfaces: Optional[Sequence[Type[Interface]]] = (source)

overridden in twisted.words.tap.Options

An iterable object that returns credential interfaces which this application is able to support.

def _checkerFactoriesForOptHelpAuth(self): (source)

Return a list of which authTypes will be displayed by --help-auth. This makes it a lot easier to test this module.
