encoder Module


Bases: json.encoder.JSONEncoder

A custom JSONEncoder class that knows how to encode core custom objects.

Custom objects are encoded as JSON object literals (ie, dicts) with one key, 'TypeName' where 'TypeName' is the actual name of the type to which the object belongs. That single key maps to another object literal which is just the __dict__ of the object encoded.

Reason for ignoring the error: E0202 - An attribute affected in json.encoder line 157 hide this method reported by pylint:

The error is in json.encoder.JSONEncoder class. There is a default method (which is overridden here) and also a class attribute self.default initialized in the init method of the class. The intention of such usage being that a custom default method object can be passed to init when creating an instance of JSONEncoder, which is then assigned to class's default method. (which is valid) But pylint raises an issue due to the usage of same name for a method and an attribute in which case the attribute definition hides the method. The reason and example for the issue: (top rated comment)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12949064/python-what-happens- when-instance-variable-name-is-same-as-method-name



Implement this method in a subclass such that it returns a serializable object for o, or calls the base implementation (to raise a TypeError).

For example, to support arbitrary iterators, you could implement default like this:

def default(self, o):


    try:


        iterable = iter(o)


    except TypeError:


        pass


    else:


        return list(iterable)


    # Let the base class default method raise the TypeError


    return JSONEncoder.default(self, o)

Bases: object

Class that encapsulates and mirrors the functions in the KeyResource and KeyRequestResource Java classes in the DRM REST API.














Approve a secret recovery request

Archive a secret (symmetric key or passphrase) on the DRM.

Refer to archive_key() comments for a description of client_key_id, data_type, key_algorithm and key_size.

  • encrypted_data - which is the data encrypted by a session key (168 bit 3DES symmetric key)
  • wrapped_session_key - the above session key wrapped by the DRM transport certificate public key.
  • the algorithm_oid string for the symmetric key wrap
  • the nonce_iv for the symmetric key wrap


This function is useful if the caller wants to do their own wrapping of the secret, or if the secret was generated on a separate client machine and the wrapping was done there.

The function returns a KeyRequestResponse object containing a KeyRequestInfo object with details about the archival request and key archived.


Archive a secret (symmetric key or passphrase) on the DRM.

Requires a user-supplied client ID. There can be only one active key with a specified client ID. If a record for a duplicate active key exists, a BadRequestException is thrown.

KeyClient.SYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE, KeyClient.ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE, KeyClient.PASS_PHRASE_TYPE

key_algorithm and key_size are applicable to symmetric keys only. If a symmetric key is being archived, these parameters are required.

private_data is the raw secret to be archived. It will be wrapped and sent to the DRM.

The function returns a KeyRequestResponse object containing a KeyRequestInfo object with details about the archival request and key archived.


Archive a secret (symmetric key or passphrase) on the DRM.

Refer to archive_key() comments for a description of client_key_id, data_type, key_algorithm and key_size.

pki_archive_options is the data to be archived wrapped in a PKIArchiveOptions structure,

The function returns a KeyRequestResponse object containing a KeyRequestInfo object with details about the archival request and key archived.


Cancel a secret recovery request

Generate and archive asymmetric keys in the DRM. Supports algorithms RSA and DSA. Valid key size for RSA = 256 + (16 * n), where n: 0-496 Valid key size for DSA = 512, 768, 1024. p,q,g params are not supported.

Return a KeyRequestResponse which contains a KeyRequestInfo object that describes the URL for the request and generated keys.


Generate and archive a symmetric key on the DRM.

Return a KeyRequestResponse which contains a KeyRequestInfo object that describes the URL for the request and generated key.


Get the info in the KeyRecord for the active secret in the DRM.


Get the info in the KeyRecord for a specific secret in the DRM.

Return a KeyRequestInfo object for a specific request.


List/Search archived secrets in the DRM.

See KRAClient.list_keys for the valid values of status. Returns a KeyInfoCollection object.


List/Search key requests in the DRM.

See KRAClient.list_requests for the valid values of request_state and request_type. Returns a KeyRequestInfoCollection object.


Modify the status of a key

Decrypt the returned key and place in key.data

The data will either by encrypted using an encryption algorithm - in which case, the key data will contain an encryption algorithm OID, or it will be key wrapped - in which case, the key data will contain a key wrap mechanism name.

Only one of these should be present. If we are talking to an older server, and none is present, we will assume encryption.


Create a request to recover a secret.

To retrieve a symmetric key or passphrase, the only parameter that is required is the keyId. It is possible (but not required) to pass in the session keys/passphrase and nonceData for the retrieval at this time. Those parameters are documented in the docstring for retrieve_key below.

To retrieve an asymmetric key, the keyId and the the base-64 encoded certificate is required.


Reject a secret recovery request.

Retrieve a secret (passphrase or symmetric key) from the DRM.

This method will retrieve a key from the KRA given the key_id or request_id (one of which must be specified). The data is returned as a KeyData object (which is recast to a Key object).

If request_id is specified, then the value of key_id is ignored. Exceptions will be thrown if the caller is not the originator of the request, or the request is not approved.

If key_id is specified instead, the following behavior applies:

  • If the key can be retrieved synchronously - ie. only one agent's approval is required, then the KeyData will include the secret.
  • If the key cannot be retrieved synchronously - ie. if more than one approval is needed, then the KeyData object will include the request ID for a recovery request that was created on the server. When that request is approved, callers can retrieve the key using retrieve_key() and setting the request_id.

To ensure data security in transit, the data will be returned encrypted by a session key (168 bit 3DES symmetric key) - which is first wrapped (encrypted) by the public key of the DRM transport certificate before being sent to the DRM. The parameter trans_wrapped_session_key refers to this wrapped session key.

If the trans_wrapped_session_key is not provided by caller, the method will call CryptoProvider methods to generate and wrap the session key. The function will return the KeyData object with a private_data attribute which stores the unwrapped key information.

If the trans_wrapped_session_key is provided by the caller, the method will simply pass the data to the KRA, and will return the secret wrapped in the session key. The secret will still need to be unwrapped by the caller. The function will return the KeyData object, where the KeyData structure includes the wrapped secret and some nonce data to be used as a salt when unwrapping.


Retrieve a secret (passphrase or symmetric key) from the DRM using a passphrase.

This function generates a key recovery request, approves it, and retrieves the secret referred to by key_id. This assumes that only one approval is required to authorize the recovery.

The secret is secured in transit by wrapping the secret with a passphrase using PBE encryption.

There are two ways of using this function:

1.
A passphrase is provided by the caller.

In this case, CryptoProvider methods will be called to create the data to securely send the passphrase to the DRM. Basically, three pieces of data will be sent:

  • the passphrase wrapped by a 168 bit 3DES symmetric key (the session key). This is referred to as the parameter session_wrapped_passphrase.
  • the session key wrapped with the public key in the DRM transport certificate. This is referred to as the trans_wrapped_session_key.
  • ivps nonce data, referred to as nonce_data

The function will return the tuple (KeyData, unwrapped_secret)

2.
The caller provides the trans_wrapped_session_key, session_wrapped_passphrase and nonce_data.

In this case, the data will simply be passed to the DRM. The function will return the secret encrypted by the passphrase using PBE Encryption. The secret will still need to be decrypted by the caller.

The function will return the tuple (KeyData, None)



Retrieve an asymmetric private key and return it as PKCS12 data.

This function generates a key recovery request, approves it, and retrieves the secret referred to by key_id in a PKCS12 file. This assumes that only one approval is required to authorize the recovery.

This function requires the following parameters: - key_id : the ID of the key - certificate: the certificate associated with the private key - passphrase: A passphrase for the pkcs12 file.

The function returns a KeyData object.


Retrieve a secret from the DRM.

@param: data - a KeyRecoveryRequest containing the keyId of the secret being retrieved, the request_id of the approved recovery request and a wrapping mechanism. More details at KRAClient.retrieve_key.

Class used to represent the data for a system certificate, which is used in the data passed into and returned from the Java installation servlet during the execution of pkispawn.

This class is the python equivalent of the Java class: com.netscape.certsrv.system.SystemCertData


Bases: object

Client used to interact with the Java configuration servlet to configure a Dogtag subsystem during the execution of pkispawn.

The connection details for the system being configured are passed in the PKIConnection object used when constructing this object.

Load existing certificate.
request (CertificateSetupRequest) -- Certificate setup request


Set up admin.
request (AdminSetupRequest) -- Admin setup request
AdminSetupResponse


Set up certificate.
request (CertificateSetupRequest) -- Certificate setup request
SystemCertData



Bases: object

Client used to check the status of a Dogtag subsystem.

Checks the status of the subsystem by calling the getStatus() servlet. This is used to determine if the server is up and ready to receive and process requests.
str - getStatus response

util Module

Module containing utility functions and classes for the Dogtag python code

Bases: object

Change permissions of a file, link, or folder recursively.

Change ownership of a file, link, or folder recursively.

Copy a file or a folder and its contents.

Copy a folder and its parents (without the contents) while preserving their attributes.

Copy a file or link while preserving its attributes.

Recursively copy a directory tree using copy2().
allow 'The destination directory to already exist.'

If exception(s) occur, an Error is raised with a list of reasons.

If the optional symlinks flag is true, symbolic links in the source tree result in symbolic links in the destination tree; if it is false, the contents of the files pointed to by symbolic links are copied.

The optional ignore argument is a callable. If given, it is called with the src parameter, which is the directory being visited by copytree(), and names which is the list of src contents, as returned by os.listdir():

callable(src, names) -> ignored_names


Since copytree() is called recursively, the callable will be called once for each directory that is copied. It returns a list of names relative to the src directory that should not be copied.

Consider this example code rather than the ultimate tool.


Customize a file with specified parameters.




Get an input from the user. This is used, for example, in pkispawn and pkidestroy to obtain user input.
  • message (str) -- prompt to display to the user
  • options (list) -- list of possible inputs by the user.
  • default (str) -- default value of parameter being prompted.
  • delimiter (str) -- delimiter to be used at the end of the prompt.
  • case_sensitive (boolean -- True/False) -- Allow input to be case sensitive.
  • password (boolean -- True/False) -- Input is a password. Don't show the value.
  • required (boolean -- True/False) -- Input must be non-empty.

str -- value obtained from user input.



Replace all occurrences of [param] in the line with the value of the parameter.
