twisted.words.protocols.jabber.sasl.SASLInitiatingInitializer(xmlstream.BaseFeatureInitiatingInitializer) class documentationtwisted.words.protocols.jabber.sasl
(View In Hierarchy)
Known subclasses: twisted.words.test.test_jabbersasl.DummySASLInitiatingInitializer
Stream initializer that performs SASL authentication.
The supported mechanisms by this initializer are 
DIGEST-MD5, PLAIN and ANONYMOUS. The
ANONYMOUS SASL mechanism is used when the JID, set on the 
authenticator, does not have a localpart (username), requesting an 
anonymous session where the username is generated by the server. Otherwise,
DIGEST-MD5 and PLAIN are attempted, in that 
order.
| Method | setMechanism | Select and setup authentication mechanism. | 
| Method | start | Start SASL authentication exchange. | 
| Method | sendAuth | Initiate authentication protocol exchange. | 
| Method | sendResponse | Send response to a challenge. | 
| Method | onChallenge | Parse challenge and send response from the mechanism. | 
| Method | onSuccess | Clean up observers, reset the XML stream and send a new header. | 
| Method | onFailure | Clean up observers, parse the failure and errback the deferred. | 
Inherited from BaseFeatureInitiatingInitializer:
| Class Variable | feature | tuple of (uri, name) of the stream feature root element. (type: tuple of ( str,str)) | 
| Instance Variable | required | whether the stream feature is required to be advertized by the receiving 
entity. (type: bool) | 
| Method | __init__ | Undocumented | 
| Method | initialize | Initiate the initialization. | 
Select and setup authentication mechanism.
Uses the authenticator's jid and password 
attribute for the authentication credentials. If no supported SASL 
mechanisms are advertized by the receiving party, a failing deferred is 
returned with a SASLNoAcceptableMechanism
exception.
Initiate authentication protocol exchange.
If an initial client response is given in data, it will be 
sent along.
| Parameters | data | initial client response. (type: strorNone.) | 
Send response to a challenge.
| Parameters | data | client response. (type: bytes.) | 
Parse challenge and send response from the mechanism.
| Parameters | element | the challenge protocol element. (type: domish.Element.) | 
Clean up observers, reset the XML stream and send a new header.
| Parameters | success | the success protocol element. For now unused, but could hold additional 
data. (type: domish.Element) | 
Clean up observers, parse the failure and errback the deferred.
| Parameters | failure | the failure protocol element. Holds details on the error condition. (type: domish.Element) |
