django-pypuppetdb is a library that handles authentication by using the PuppetDB’s REST API to get Users that are registrated in PuppetDB. It is implemented using the requests library.

To use this library you will need:
  • Python 2.7+

  • Python 3.3+

  • Django 1.6

  • pypuppetdb

Currently I’m working on making it 1.7 compatible

Installation

You can install this package from source or from PyPi.

$ pip install django-pypuppetdb
$ git clone https://github.com/nedap/django-pypuppetdb
$ python setup.py install

Django

To let django connect to puppetdb in order to get your user add the following line to you settings.

  • add “django_pypuppetdb” to INSTALLED_APPS.

  • add “django_pypuppetdb.django_authentication.PuppetDBAuthentication” to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS

  • add the followin settings

PUPPETDB_HOST = 'localhost',
PUPPETDB_PORT = 8080,
PUPPETDB_NODE = 'node',
PUPPETDB_KEY = None,
PUPPETDB_CERT = None,
PUPPETDB_SSL_VERIFY = False
PUPPETDB_ADMIN_GROUP = 'admins'

Tastypie

If you are using tastypie as API framework and want to use pypuppetdb to validate the user you can add the following line to your resource file

from django_pypuppetdb.tastypie_authentication import PuppetDBAuthentication

in your class Meta add:
authentication = PuppetDBAuthentication()

if you would like to use multiple authentications you can use

authentication = MultiAuthentication(ApiKeyAuthentication(), PuppetDBAuthentication())
