Logon Help about esgf-pyclient HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi @mattben, The main developer of this code has moved on and we discussed whether the "logon.py" module should be deprecated as it is not fully tested. I will discuss with @philipkershaw and get back to you. A better solution might be to use other libraries to handle the authentication. Kind regards, Ag @agstephens

from esgf-pyclient.

@agstephens @philipkershaw since @stephenpascoe has moved on, is it safe to say you two are the new maintainers? Instead of deprecating, can we/I fix it? I love this package and would like to see it grow. A lot of my sites i'm working on are Django web apps and having a working esgf-pyclient makes life much easier. Not to be noise or pushy, is there a working group for this repo? If not we could start one? Also maybe instead of having a fork we should ask to move the repo to give us full access and/or just break ties. I'm not sure what the politics and issues would be with that its just an idea. In short I'd be glad to help out with this effort, also thank your for the quick responses.

Hi @mattben,
I have discussed the issue with @philipkershaw and we are keen for you to help us with the development of esgf-pyclient. I have created a GitHub team and invited you into it. You should now have write access to the archive. Please follow the usual protocols of developing in your own branch and then asking me to merge in any changes from your branch when you have tested.
@philipkershaw is busy this week but will take a look at this issue when he gets a moment (unless you fix it before he gets there). Let me know if you have any problems getting access.
Thanks, @ESGF/esgf-pyclient-team

Thanks @agstephens I'd be very happy to contribute and will conform to the normal github policy of using PRs. Sorry i broke that rule a few days a go, updating the .gitignore file.

to this issues, looks like the curllib does not support ssl context and i'm looking in to using httplib with ssl, more to come.

I am able to make the package work, with out any code changes. I'd like to recommended updating the docs. http://esgf-pyclient.readthedocs.org/en/latest I'm embarrassed to admit the SSL error was due to a Python version issues. I'm running python 2.7.5/6 on most servers. SSL was updated in python 2.7.9 for SSL Context https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html?highlight=ssl.sslcontext#ssl.SSLContext New in version 2.7.9.. I wrote a basic Test and it works now. The process was:

1. Upgrade Python (I went to the newest 2.7.11)

2. Setup and Install requirements

   virtualenv env
   source env/bin/activate
   python --verson
   >> 2.7.11
   pip install esgf-pyclient MyProxyClient
   

3. The Simple Test Script

   import pyesgf.logon
   from local_settings import * # open_id and password
   oid = open_id
   pw = password
   lm = pyesgf.logon.LogonManager()
   lm.logoff()
   print lm.is_logged_on()
   lm.logon_with_openid(oid, pw)
   print lm.is_logged_on()
   

4. Run Test

   python logon_test.py
   >> False
   >> True
   

Thank you for your willingness to help and answer my questions, sorry to start a fuss about nothing. I'll continue to test logon and implement it in to my project.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for working out the issue. I will update the documentation to state this requirement when working with the LogonManager.

Thanks,

Hi Matthew,

I've added a warning in the docs here:

Hi Matthew,

Glad to hear that you got to the bottom of this and sorry I wasn’t able to reply sooner.

Regarding SSL dependencies, MyProxyClient uses PyOpenSSL for SSL functionality so I would expect the issues you were seeing could be due to a stale version of PyOpenSSL or MyProxyClient. - Earlier versions of MyProxyClient used SSLv3 but it now uses TLS. If your MyProxy server was rejecting SSLv3 (it should!) then it could cause an error like you were seeing.

Can you send me a full pip freeze output for the configuration that was failing?

Cheers,
Phil

@philipkershaw I think you 100% correct i've tested around on on a few different versions of python and the issue was either no MyProxyClient installed or and older version.

the only failing output from pip I have shows that MyProxyClient is not installed.

> pip list 
esgf-pyclient (0.1.4b)
Jinja2 (2.8) 
MarkupSafe (0.23)
pip (1.5.6)
setuptools (3.6)

Again sorry for the false alarm.
