This is working so far:
identity = auth.createIdentity('root') identity.setPassword('password') identity.save()
perspective = AdminPerspective(identity) service.addPerspective(perspective) identity.addKeyForPerspective(perspective)
perspective = UserPerspective(identity) service.addPerspective(perspective) identity.addKeyForPerspective(perspective)
If you do this, when the user root/password will log on, how will twisted know to which perspective to connect to? How will it differenciate your connection as adminperspective or userperpective, as you log as the same user/pass?
If you look at twisted.spread.pb you'll see that the pb.connect() function takes both a username (same as identity.name) and perspectiveName as parameters: def connect(host, port, username, password, serviceName, perspectiveName=None, client=None, timeout=None): """Connects and authenticates, then retrieves a PB service. Required arguments: - host -- the host the service is running on - port -- the port on the host to connect to - username -- the name you will be identified as to the authorizer - password -- the password for this username - serviceName -- name of the service to request Optional (keyword) arguments: - perspectiveName -- the name of the perspective to request, if different than the username - client -- XXX the \"reference\" argument to perspective.Perspective.attached - timeout -- see twisted.internet.tcp.Client @returns: A Deferred instance that gets a callback when the final Perspective is connected, and an errback when an error occurs at any stage of connecting. """ So my demo/hack client application supplies those details when a user logs on: def main(self): name = raw_input('Enter your login name (root): ') if not name: name = 'root' password = raw_input('Enter your password (password): ') if not password: password = 'password' perspective = raw_input('Enter your perspective (root:admin): ') if not perspective: perspective = 'root:admin' df = pb.connect(host='localhost', port=8789, username=name, password=password, serviceName='BankingService', perspectiveName=perspective, client=self, timeout=30) df.addCallbacks(self.gotPerspective, self.noPerspective) reactor.run() -- Patrick K.
