Django FogBugz authentication backend

Project description

This authentication backend for django, will authenticate against a FogBugz (http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/) issue tracker. It uses the python interface (https://developers.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W199) to the FogBugz API (http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/fogbugz-xml-api).

Source code, and issues can be found on GitHub (https://github.com/dougn/django-auth-fogbugz). Full documentation is on PyPi packages (http://packages.python.org/django-auth-fogbugz/).

User Model Extension

There is an extension profile model which is included with this auth backend to help with integrating with the FogBugz API when you set AUTH_FOGBUGZ_ENABLE_PROFILE to True in your settings, and include django-auth-fogbugz as an application in INSTALLED_APPS (see below):

user.fogbugzprofile.token
user.fogbugzprofile.ixPerson
user.fogbugzprofile.is_normal
user.fogbugzprofile.is_community
user.fogbugzprofile.is_administrator

Example:

import fogbugz
from django.conf import settings

fb = fogbugz.FogBugz(settings.AUTH_FOGBUGZ_SERVER,
                     user.fogbugzprofile.token)
resp = fb.search(q='assignedTo:"me" status:"Active"',
                cols="ixBug,sTitle",
                max=10)
top_ten = ''
for case in resp.cases.findAll('case'):
     top_ten += "%s: %s\n" % (case.ixbug.string,
                              case.stitle.string.encode('UTF-8'))

Settings

AUTH_FOGBUGZ_SERVER = "https://my_account.fogbugz.com/"

# By default community users will not be authenticated. If you wish to include
# FogBugz community user logins, set this to True.
#
AUTH_FOGBUGZ_ALLOW_COMMUNITY = False

# Have django-auth-fogbugz create the django user if it does not already
# exist, and the user authenticates.
#
AUTH_FOGBUGZ_AUTO_CREATE_USERS = False

# If your FogBugz server is using the LDAP integration for authentication, then
# You need to set this to True in order to have authentication work properly.
# If you are also have AUTH_FOGBUGZ_AUTO_CREATE_USERS set to True, then the
# first time a user logs in to the django site, they must use their LDAP
# username, and not their e-mail address.
#
AUTH_FOGBUGZ_SERVER_USES_LDAP = False

# FogBugz has a concept if a superuser, the 'administrator' flag on accounts.
# The following settings will map this information to the django account.
#
AUTH_FOGBUGZ_MAP_ADMIN_AS_SUPER = False
AUTH_FOGBUGZ_MAP_ADMIN_AS_STAFF = False

# There is an extension profile model which is included with this auth backend
# to help with integrating with the FogBugz API::
#
#     user.fogbugzprofile.ixPerson
#     user.fogbugzprofile.is_community
#     user.fogbugzprofile.is_administrator
#
#
# You must also add 'django-auth-fogbugz' as django app in your
# INSTALLED_APPS when enabling this.
#
AUTH_FOGBUGZ_ENABLE_PROFILE = False

# With the fogbugz profile extension enabled, there is the option to store
# the serurity login token for the FogBugz user. This token can be used
# instead of the username and password to log into the FogBugz server.
# The authentication token can be accessed via the profile::
#
#     user.fogbugzprofile.token
#
#
# ..note:: If you enable token storage, make sure your SESSION_COOKIE_AGE
#          is less than or equal to the FogBugz expiration time (2 weeks,
#          same as the django default) and that FogBugz Server
#          Configuraition for Authentication logon is set to
#          ``"Remember Me" Allowed``.
#
# ..warning:: Enabling the profile token extension will allow any code with
#             access to the user models to have a login authentication token
#             for non-expired users. This could allow Django code to access
#             the FogBugz server as those users.
#
# You must also add 'django-auth-fogbugz' as django app in your
# INSTALLED_APPS and set AUTH_FOGBUGZ_ENABLE_PROFILE to true
# when enabling this.
#
AUTH_FOGBUGZ_ENABLE_PROFILE_TOKEN = False

# Keep ModelBackend around for per-user permissions and maybe a local
# superuser.
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django_auth_fogbugz.backend.FogBugzBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
