in case of a resolver change / delete, we have to dump the cache

in case of a resolver change / delete, we have to dump the user cache

linotp.lib.user.find_resolver_spec_for_config_identifier(realms_dict, config_identifier)

Iterates through a realms dictionary, extracts the resolver specification and returns it, when its config identifier matches the provided config_identifier argument

Parameters

  • realms_dict – A realms dictionary

  • config_identifier – The config identifier to search for

:return Resolver specification (or None if no match occured)

linotp.lib.user.getRealmBox()

returns the config value of selfservice.realmbox. if True, the realmbox in the selfservice login will be displayed. if False, the realmbox will not be displayed and the user needs to login

linotp.lib.user.getResolvers(user)

get the list of the Resolvers within a users.realm or from the resolver conf, if given in the user object

Note

It ignores the user.login attribute!

Parameters

user (User object) – User with realm or resolver conf

linotp.lib.user.getResolversOfUser(user)

getResolversOfUser returns the list of the Resolvers of a user in a given realm. A user can be be in more than one resolver if the login name is the same and if the user has the same id.

The usecase behind this constrain is that an user for example could be ldap wise in a group which could be addressed by two queries.

Parameters

user – userobject with user.login, user.realm

Returns

array of resolvers, the user was found in

linotp.lib.user.getSearchFields(user)
linotp.lib.user.getSplitAtSign()

returns the config value of splitAtSign. if True, the username should be split if there is an at sign. if False, the username will be taken unchanged for loginname.

linotp.lib.user.getUserDetail(user)

Returns userinfo of an user

Parameters

user – the user

Returns

the userinfo dict

linotp.lib.user.getUserFromParam(param)

establish an user object from the request parameters

linotp.lib.user.getUserFromRequest()

This function returns the logged-in user as object

Returns

the authenticated user as user object or None

linotp.lib.user.getUserId(userObject)
Parameters

user – user object

Returns

(uid,resId,resIdC)

linotp.lib.user.getUserInfo(userid, resolver, resolver_spec)

get the user info for an given user, identified by the userid + resolver/resolver_spec

Parameters

  • userid – the unique user identifier

  • resolver – the resolver (optional)

  • resolver_spec – the resolver identifier + name

Returns

dictionary, which is empty, if no user info could be retreived

linotp.lib.user.getUserList(param, search_user)
linotp.lib.user.getUserListIterators(param, search_user)

return a list of iterators for all userid resolvers

Returns the phone numer of a user

Parameters

  • user (user object) – the user with the phone

  • phone_type (string) – The type of the phone, i.e. either mobile or phone (land line)

Returns

list with phone numbers of this user object

linotp.lib.user.getUserRealms(user, allRealms=None, defaultRealm=None)

Returns the realms, a user belongs to. If the user has no realm but only a useridresolver, than all realms, containing this resolver are returned. This function is used for the policy module

linotp.lib.user.getUserResolverId(user, report=False)

get the resolver id of the user

linotp.lib.user.get_authenticated_user(username, realm, password=None, realm_box=False, options=None)

None or authenticated user object

linotp.lib.user.get_resolvers_of_user(login, realm)

get the resolvers of a given user, identified by loginname and realm

linotp.lib.user.get_user_from_options(options_dict, fallback_user=None, fallback_realm=None)

return a tuple of user login and realm considering the options contexts

in the token implementation we often require to make a policy lookup. As the policies are user and realm dependend we require to define for witch user or realm this lookup should be made. The input can be taken from: - the token owner or - options, the request addtional parameters which might contain a user

object or a login name or

  • the token realm, if neither user or owner is given

Parameters

  • options_dict – the request options dict with the user

  • fallback_user – which should be set with the token owner

  • fallback_realm – which should be set with the token realm

Returns

the tuple with user login and realm

linotp.lib.user.get_userinfo(user: User, secure: bool = True) → Dict

” gather information about a user to be returned for rendering

  • to ease the rendering process, in case of an error we just return an empyt structure and log the errors

Parameters

  • user – User class object

  • secure – defines if the crypted password will be part of the returned structure

linotp.lib.user.lookup_user_in_resolver(login, user_id, resolver_spec, user_info=None)

lookup login or uid in resolver to get userinfo

Remark

the userinfo should not be part of this api and not be cached

Parameters

  • login – login name

  • user_id – the users uiniq identifier

  • resolver_spec – the resolver specifier

Paran user_info

optional parameter, required to fill the cache

Returns

login, uid, user info

linotp.lib.user.setRealm(realm, resolvers)
linotp.lib.user.splitUser(username)

split the username into the user and realm

Parameters

username – the given username

Returns

tuple of (user and group/realm)
