Submodules

keystoneclient.auth.base module

class keystoneclient.auth.base.BaseAuthPlugin

Bases: object

The basic structure of an authentication plugin.

get_connection_params(session, **kwargs)

Return any additional connection parameters required for the plugin.

Parameters:session (keystoneclient.session.Session) – The session object that the auth_plugin belongs to.
Returns:Headers that are set to authenticate a message or None for failure. Note that when checking this value that the empty dict is a valid, non-failure response.
Return type:dict
get_endpoint(session, **kwargs)

Return an endpoint for the client.

There are no required keyword arguments to get_endpoint as a plugin implementation should use best effort with the information available to determine the endpoint. However there are certain standard options that will be generated by the clients and should be used by plugins:

  • service_type: what sort of service is required.
  • service_name: the name of the service in the catalog.
  • interface: what visibility the endpoint should have.
  • region_name: the region the endpoint exists in.
Parameters:session (keystoneclient.session.Session) – The session object that the auth_plugin belongs to.
Returns:The base URL that will be used to talk to the required service or None if not available.
Return type:string
get_headers(session, **kwargs)

Fetch authentication headers for message.

This is a more generalized replacement of the older get_token to allow plugins to specify different or additional authentication headers to the OpenStack standard ‘X-Auth-Token’ header.

How the authentication headers are obtained is up to the plugin. If the headers are still valid they may be re-used, retrieved from cache or the plugin may invoke an authentication request against a server.

The default implementation of get_headers calls the get_token method to enable older style plugins to continue functioning unchanged. Subclasses should feel free to completely override this function to provide the headers that they want.

There are no required kwargs. They are passed directly to the auth plugin and they are implementation specific.

Returning None will indicate that no token was able to be retrieved and that authorization was a failure. Adding no authentication data can be achieved by returning an empty dictionary.

Parameters:session (keystoneclient.session.Session) – The session object that the auth_plugin belongs to.
Returns:Headers that are set to authenticate a message or None for failure. Note that when checking this value that the empty dict is a valid, non-failure response.
Return type:dict
classmethod get_options()

Return the list of parameters associated with the auth plugin.

This list may be used to generate CLI or config arguments.

Returns:A list of Param objects describing available plugin parameters.
Return type:List
get_project_id(session, **kwargs)

Return the project id that we are authenticated to.

Wherever possible the project id should be inferred from the token however there are certain URLs and other places that require access to the currently authenticated project id.

Parameters:session (keystoneclient.session.Session) – A session object so the plugin can make HTTP calls.
Returns:A project identifier or None if one is not available.
Return type:str
get_token(session, **kwargs)

Obtain a token.

How the token is obtained is up to the plugin. If it is still valid it may be re-used, retrieved from cache or invoke an authentication request against a server.

There are no required kwargs. They are passed directly to the auth plugin and they are implementation specific.

Returning None will indicate that no token was able to be retrieved.

This function is misplaced as it should only be required for auth plugins that use the ‘X-Auth-Token’ header. However due to the way plugins evolved this method is required and often called to trigger an authentication request on a new plugin.

When implementing a new plugin it is advised that you implement this method, however if you don’t require the ‘X-Auth-Token’ header override the get_headers method instead.

Parameters:session (keystoneclient.session.Session) – A session object so the plugin can make HTTP calls.
Returns:A token to use.
Return type:string
get_user_id(session, **kwargs)

Return a unique user identifier of the plugin.

Wherever possible the user id should be inferred from the token however there are certain URLs and other places that require access to the currently authenticated user id.

Parameters:session (keystoneclient.session.Session) – A session object so the plugin can make HTTP calls.
Returns:A user identifier or None if one is not available.
Return type:str
invalidate()

Invalidate the current authentication data.

This should result in fetching a new token on next call.

A plugin may be invalidated if an Unauthorized HTTP response is returned to indicate that the token may have been revoked or is otherwise now invalid.

Returns:True if there was something that the plugin did to invalidate. This means that it makes sense to try again. If nothing happens returns False to indicate give up.
Return type:bool
classmethod load_from_argparse_arguments(namespace, **kwargs)

Load a specific plugin object from an argparse result.

Convert the results of a parse into the specified plugin.

Parameters:namespace (argparse.Namespace) – The result from CLI parsing.
Returns:An auth plugin, or None if a name is not provided.
Return type:keystoneclient.auth.BaseAuthPlugin
classmethod load_from_conf_options(conf, group, **kwargs)

Convert the options already registered into a real plugin.

Parameters:
Returns:

An authentication Plugin.
Return type:

keystoneclient.auth.BaseAuthPlugin
classmethod load_from_options(**kwargs)

Create a plugin from the arguments retrieved from get_options.

A client can override this function to do argument validation or to handle differences between the registered options and what is required to create the plugin.

classmethod load_from_options_getter(getter, **kwargs)

Load a plugin from a getter function returning appropriate values.

To handle cases other than the provided CONF and CLI loading you can specify a custom loader function that will be queried for the option value.

The getter is a function that takes one value, an oslo_config.cfg.Opt and returns a value to load with.

Parameters:getter (callable) – A function that returns a value for the given opt.
Returns:An authentication Plugin.
Return type:keystoneclient.auth.BaseAuthPlugin
classmethod register_argparse_arguments(parser)

Parameters:
  • argparse.ArgumentParser – the parser to attach argparse options to.
  • argv (List) – the arguments provided to the application.
  • default (str/class) – a default plugin name or a plugin object to use if one isn’t specified by the CLI. default: None.

The options that are set are:
auth_plugin:The name of the plugin to load.
auth_section:The config file section to load options from.
Returns:A list of oslo_config options.
keystoneclient.auth.conf.get_plugin_options(name)

Load a plugin from an oslo_config CONF object.

Each plugin will register their own required options and so there is no standard list and the plugin should be consulted.

The base options should have been registered with register_conf_options before this function is called.

Parameters:
Returns:

An authentication Plugin or None if a name is not provided
Return type:

keystoneclient.auth.BaseAuthPlugin
Raises:

keystoneclient.exceptions.NoMatchingPlugin – if a plugin cannot be created.

The defined options are:

  • auth_plugin: the name of the auth plugin that will be used for
    authentication.
  • auth_section: the group from which further auth plugin options should be
    taken. If section is not provided then the auth plugin options will be taken from the same group as provided in the parameters.
Parameters:

class keystoneclient.auth.token_endpoint.Token(endpoint, token)

Bases: keystoneclient.auth.base.BaseAuthPlugin

A provider that will always use the given token and endpoint.

This is really only useful for testing and in certain CLI cases where you have a known endpoint and admin token that you want to use.

get_endpoint(session, **kwargs)

Return the supplied endpoint.

Using this plugin the same endpoint is returned regardless of the parameters passed to the plugin.
