#
# This is a sample authentication and authorization module for python
# nnrpd hook
#
# For details, see the file doc/hook-python that came with INN.
#

#
# This file is loaded when one of the python_* readers.conf parameters
# is encountered. An instance of AUTH class is passed to nnrpd via
# set_auth_hook() function imported from nnrpd. The following methods
# of that class are known to nnrpd:
#
#   __init__()                  - Use this method to initilalize your
#                                 general variables or open a common
#                                 database connection. May be omitted.
#   access_init()               - Init function specific to access
#                                 control. May be omitted
#   access(attributes)          - Called when a python_access
#                                 statement is reached in the
#                                 processing of readers.conf. Returns
#                                 a dictionary of values representing
#                                 statements to be included in an
#                                 access group. 
#   access_close()              - Called on nnrpd termination. Save
#                                 your state variables or close a
#                                 database connection. May be omitted
#   authen_init()               - Init function specific to
#                                 authentication. May be omitted
#   authenticate(attributes)    - Called when a python_auth statement
#                                 is reached in the processing of
#                                 readers.conf. Returns a response
#                                 code, an error string and an
#                                 optional string to appear in the
#                                 logs as the username.
#   authen_close()              - Called on nnrpd termination. Save
#                                 your state variables or close a database
#                                 connection. May be omitted
#   dynamic_init()              - Init function specific to
#                                 authentication. May be omitted
#   dynamic(attributes)         - Called whenever a reader requests either
#                                 read or post access to a
#                                 newsgroup. Returns None to grant
#                                 access, or a non-empty string (which
#                                 will be reported back to reader)
#                                 otherwise. 
#   dynamic_close()             - Called on nnrpd termination. Save
#                                 your state variables or close a database
#                                 connection. May be omitted
#
# If there is a problem with return codes from any of these methods then nnrpd
# will die and syslog the exact reason.
#
# There are also a few Python functions defined in nnrpd:
#
# set_auth_hook()               - Called by nnrpd as this module is loaded.
#                                 It is used to pass a reference to an 
#                                 instance of authentication class to nnrpd.
# syslog()                      - An equivalent replacement for regular syslog.
#                                 One consideration for using it is to
#                                 uniform nnrpd logging.
