===================

Extensible session based authentication and claims based authorization tool for CherryPy.

Includes authentication controllers for default dispatcher and method dispatcher.

Currently only supports Python 3

Example:
--------

.. sourcecode:: python

import cherrypy

from lribeiro.cherrypy import authorizer
from lribeiro.cherrypy.authorizer import authorize
from lribeiro.cherrypy.authorizer.authentication import Identity, AuthControllerDefaultDispatcher

def _authenticator(**credentials):
if credentials['username'] == 'user' and credentials['password'] == 'pass':
return Identity('id', 'user')


def _authorizer(claims):
if 'read' in claims and claims['read'] == 'page':
return True
if 'write' in claims and claims['write'] == 'page':
return True
return False

class Area1:
@cherrypy.expose
@authorize({'read': 'page'})
def index(self):
return 'authorized'


@authorize
class Area2:
@cherrypy.expose
def index(self):
return 'authorized'

@cherrypy.expose
@authorize({'write': 'site'})
def restricted(self):
return 'restricted'

class Root:
@cherrypy.expose
def index(self):
pass

@cherrypy.expose
def process_login(self, username, password):
try:
authenticate(username=username, password=password)
raise cherrypy.HTTPRedirect('/area1')
except AuthenticationError:
raise cherrypy.HTTPError(403)


if __name__ == '__main__':
conf = {
'/': {
'tools.sessions.on': True,
'tools.authorizer.on': True,
'auth.authenticator': _authenticator,
'auth.authorizer': _authorizer,
'auth.login_page': '/login',
'auth.login_redirect': '/logged_in',
'auth.logout_redirect': '/logged_out',
'auth.unauthorized_redirect': '/unauthorized'
}
}

root = Root()
root.area1 = Area1()
root.area2 = Area2()
root.auth = AuthControllerDefaultDispatcher()

cherrypy.quickstart(root, '/', conf)
