the demo backend is far simplier than the ldap backend, so it's more logic to use it as an implementation example

Implementing cutom backends
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The backend modules must respect the following API:
|
|
|
|
.. autoclass:: ldapcherry.backend.Backend
|
|
:members: __init__, auth, add_user, del_user, set_attrs, add_to_groups, del_from_groups, search, get_user, get_groups
|
|
:undoc-members:
|
|
:show-inheritance:
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Configuration for your backend is declared in the main ini file, inside [backends] section:
|
|
|
|
For example with the configuration:
|
|
|
|
.. sourcecode:: ini
|
|
|
|
[backends]
|
|
|
|
# class path to module
|
|
b_id.module = "my.backend.module"
|
|
|
|
b_id.param1 = "my value 1"
|
|
b_id.param2 = "my value 2"
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
One module can be instanciated several times, the prefix b_id permits
|
|
to differenciate instances and their specific configuration.
|
|
|
|
The following hash will be passed as configuration to the module constructor as parameter config:
|
|
|
|
.. sourcecode:: python
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
'param1': "my value 1",
|
|
'param2': "my value 2",
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
After having set **self.config** to **config** in the constructor, parameters can be recovered
|
|
by **self.get_param**:
|
|
|
|
.. autoclass:: ldapcherry.backend.Backend
|
|
:members: get_param
|
|
:undoc-members:
|
|
:show-inheritance:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exceptions
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The following exception can be used in your module
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: ldapcherry.exceptions
|
|
:members: UserDoesntExist, UserAlreadyExists, GroupDoesntExist
|
|
:undoc-members:
|
|
:show-inheritance:
|
|
|
|
These exceptions permit a nicer error handling and avoid a generic message to be thrown at the user.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Here is the ldap backend module that comes with LdapCherry:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../ldapcherry/backend/backendDemo.py
|
|
:language: python
