AuthBackendHook¶
reviewboard.extensions.hooks.AuthBackendHook allows extensions to
register new authentication backends, which can be used to integrate with
databases or servers to handle authentication, user lookup, and profile
manipulation.
Extensions must provide a subclass of
reviewboard.accounts.backends.AuthBackend, and pass it as a
parameter to AuthBackendHook. Each class must provide
backend_id and name attributes, and must implement
authenticate() and get_or_create_user() methods.
Example¶
from reviewboard.accounts.backends import AuthBackend
from reviewboard.extensions.base import Extension
from reviewboard.extensions.hooks import AuthBackendHook
class SampleAuthBackend(AuthBackend):
backend_id = 'myvendor_sample_auth'
name = 'Sample Authentication'
def authenticate(self, username, password):
if username == 'superuser' and password == 's3cr3t':
return self.get_or_create_user(username, password=password)
return None
def get_or_create_user(self, username, request=None, password=None):
user, is_new = User.objects.get_or_create(username=username)
if is_new:
user.set_unusable_password()
user.save()
return user
class SampleExtension(Extension):
def initialize(self):
AuthBackendHook(self, SampleAuthBackend)
