MyProxyClient

The MyProxyClient Python package has been developed as part of development activities for the NERC DataGrid Security system. This work has been supported over the past year (2007-2008) by OMII-UK.

The implementation is based on the myproxy_logon script developed by Tom Uram of ANL. Rather than binding to the MyProxy C libraries, it uses the M2Crypto Python OpenSSL library wrapper to make calls to a MyProxy server following the MyProxy protocol.

Installation

MyProxyClient is available from PyPI:

$ easy_install MyProxyClient

Example

Retrieve credentials from a MyProxy server running at myproxy.localhost on the default port:

>>> from myproxy.client import MyProxyClient
>>> myproxy = MyProxyClient(hostname='myproxy.localhost')
>>> credentials = myproxy.logon('myusername', 'mypassword')

credentials is a tuple containing certificate(s) and private key as strings.

Documentation

epydoc generated documentation is available at the Python package site.
