Function Details

create_default_provider()

source code

Create default identity provider.

Creates an identity provider according to what is found in the configuration file for the current TurboGears application

Returns an identity provider instance or raises an IdentityConfigurationException.

encrypt_pw_with_algorithm(algorithm, password)

source code

Hash the given password with the specified algorithm.

Valid values for algorithm are 'md5' and 'sha1' or 'custom'. If the algorithm is 'custom', the config setting 'identity.custom_encryption' needs to be set to a dotted-notation path to a callable that takes an unencrypted password and gives back the password hash.

All other algorithms values will be essentially a no-op.

_encrypt_password(*args, **kwargs)

source code

Hash the given password with the specified algorithm.

All other algorithms values will be essentially a no-op.

verify_identity_status()

source code

A tool that sets response status based on identity's success or failure.

This is necessary since the status will be overridden by the result of forwarding the user to the login page.

Does not override status if the login controller errors out.
