AuthBackend[source]¶

alias of reviewboard.accounts.backends.base.BaseAuthBackend

get_registered_auth_backends()[source]¶

Yield all registered Review Board authentication backends.

This will return all backends provided both by Review Board and by third parties that have properly registered with the reviewboard.auth_backends entry point.

Deprecated since version 3.0: Iterate over auth_backends instead.

Yields:	type – The BaseAuthBackend subclasses.

get_registered_auth_backend(backend_id)[source]¶

Return the authentication backend with the specified ID.

Deprecated since version 3.0: Use auth_backends.get_auth_backend() instead.

Parameters:	backend_id (unicode) – The ID of the backend to retrieve.
Returns:	The authentication backend, or None if it could not be found.
Return type:	reviewboard.accounts.backends.base.BaseAuthBackend

register_auth_backend(backend_cls)[source]¶

Register an authentication backend.

This backend will appear in the list of available backends. The backend class must have a backend_id attribute set, and can only be registered once.

Deprecated since version 3.0: Use auth_backends.register() instead.

Parameters:	backend_cls (type) – The subclass of BaseAuthBackend to register.
Raises:	KeyError – A backend already exists with this ID.

unregister_auth_backend(backend_cls)[source]¶

Unregister a previously registered authentication backend.
