20
The realm connects application-specific objects to the

authentication system.

def requestAvatar(avatarId, mind, *interfaces):
25
Return avatar which provides one of the given interfaces.
27
@param avatarId: a string that identifies an avatar, as returned by
28
L{ICredentialsChecker.requestAvatarId<twisted.cred.checkers.ICredentialsChecker.requestAvatarId>}
29
(via a Deferred). Alternatively, it may be
30
C{twisted.cred.checkers.ANONYMOUS}.
31
@param mind: usually None. See the description of mind in
33
@param interfaces: the interface(s) the returned avatar should
34
implement, e.g. C{IMailAccount}. See the description of
37
@returns: a deferred which will fire a tuple of (interface,
38
avatarAspect, logout), or the tuple itself. The interface will be
39
one of the interfaces passed in the 'interfaces' argument. The
40
'avatarAspect' will implement that interface. The 'logout' object
41
is a callable which will detach the mind from the avatar.
47
A mediator between clients and a realm.
49
A portal is associated with one Realm and zero or more credentials checkers.
50
When a login is attempted, the portal finds the appropriate credentials
51
checker for the credentials given, invokes it, and if the credentials are
52
valid, retrieves the appropriate avatar from the Realm.
54
This class is not intended to be subclassed. Customization should be done
55
in the realm object and in the credentials checker objects.

def login(self, credentials, mind, *interfaces):
80
@param credentials: an implementor of

L{twisted.cred.credentials.ICredentials}
83
@param mind: an object which implements a client-side interface for
84
your particular realm. In many cases, this may be None, so if the
85
word 'mind' confuses you, just ignore it.
87
@param interfaces: list of interfaces for the perspective that the mind
88
wishes to attach to. Usually, this will be only one interface, for
89
example IMailAccount. For highly dynamic protocols, however, this
90
may be a list like (IMailAccount, IUserChooser, IServiceInfo). To
91
expand: if we are speaking to the system over IMAP, any information
92
that will be relayed to the user MUST be returned as an
93
IMailAccount implementor; IMAP clients would not be able to
94
understand anything else. Any information about unusual status
95
would have to be relayed as a single mail message in an
96
otherwise-empty mailbox. However, in a web-based mail system, or a
97
PB-based client, the ``mind'' object inside the web server
98
(implemented with a dynamic page-viewing mechanism such as a
99
Twisted Web Resource) or on the user's client program may be
100
intelligent enough to respond to several ``server''-side
103
@return: A deferred which will fire a tuple of (interface,
104
avatarAspect, logout). The interface will be one of the interfaces
105
passed in the 'interfaces' argument. The 'avatarAspect' will
106
implement that interface. The 'logout' object is a callable which
107
will detach the mind from the avatar. It must be called when the
108
user has conceptually disconnected from the service. Although in
109
some cases this will not be in connectionLost (such as in a
110
web-based session), it will always be at the end of a user's
