Details¶

class Signon.IdentityInfo¶

Opaque struct. Use the accessor functions below.

classmethod new()¶

Returns:: a new Signon.IdentityInfo item.
Return type:: Signon.IdentityInfo

Creates a new Signon.IdentityInfo item.

add_access_control(system_context, application_context)¶

Parameters:

system_context (str) – the system context to add.
application_context (str) – the application context to add.

Add an ACL to this identity. This is an helper function.

copy()¶

Returns:: a copy of the given Signon.IdentityInfo, or None on failure.
Return type:: Signon.IdentityInfo

Get a newly-allocated copy of info.

free()¶: Destroys the given Signon.IdentityInfo item.

get_access_control_list()¶

Returns:: a GLib.List of Signon.SecurityContext representing ACL statements. Each element should be freed with Signon.SecurityContext.copy() after use.
Return type:: [Signon.SecurityContext]

Get an array of ACL statements of the identity.

get_caption()¶

Returns:: the display name for the identity.
Return type:: str

Get the display name of self.

get_id()¶

Returns:: the numeric ID of the identity.
Return type:: int

Get the numeric ID of self.

get_identity_type()¶

Returns:: the type of the identity.
Return type:: Signon.IdentityType

Get the type of the identity.

get_methods()¶

Returns:: the table of allowed methods and mechanisms.
Return type:: {str: [str]}

Get a hash table of the methods and mechanisms of self.

get_realms()¶

Returns:: a None terminated array of realms.
Return type:: [str]

Get an array of the realms of self.

get_storing_secret()¶

Returns:: True if Signon must store the secret, False otherwise.
Return type:: bool

Get whether the secret of self should be stored.

get_username()¶

Returns:: the username, or None.
Return type:: str

Get the username of self.

remove_method(method)¶

Parameters:: method (str) – an authentication method.

Remove method from the list of allowed authentication methods. If all methods are removed, then all methods are allowed.

set_access_control_list(access_control_list)¶

Parameters:: access_control_list ([Signon.SecurityContext]) – a GLib.List of Signon.SecurityContext representing ACL security domains.

Specifies the ACL for this identity. The actual meaning of the ACL depends on the security framework used by signond.

set_caption(caption)¶

Parameters:: caption (str) – the caption.

Sets the caption (display name) for the identity.

set_identity_type(type)¶

Parameters:: type (Signon.IdentityType) – the type of the identity.

Specifies the type of this identity.

set_method(method, mechanisms)¶

Parameters:

method (str) – an authentication method.
mechanisms ([str]) – a None-termianted list of mechanisms.

Adds a method to the list of allowed methods. If this method is not called even once, then all methods are allowed. Mechanisms are method-specific variants of authentication.

set_realms(realms)¶

Parameters:: realms ([str]) – a None-terminated list of realms.

Specify what realms this identity can be used in.

set_secret(secret, store_secret)¶

Parameters:

secret (str) – the secret.
store_secret (bool) – whether signond should store the secret in its DB.

Sets the secret (password) for the identity, and whether the signon daemon should remember it.

set_username(username)¶

Parameters:: username (str) – the username.

Sets the username for the identity.
