factored 2.0rc1

Install

using virtualenv:

virtualenv factored
cd factored
git clone git://github.com/vangheem/factored.git
cd factored
../bin/python setup.py develop
../bin/initializedb develop.ini
../bin/adduser develop.ini --username=john@foo.bar
../bin/paster serve develop.ini
../bin/removeuser develop.ini --username=john@foo.bar

Configuration

Must follow the example develop.ini provided. You’ll probably want to copy that file into your own and change the settings.

Edit server and port settings for application server if not using with another wsgi application.

Nginx Example Configuration

An example setup with nginx and load balancing:

server {
    listen  80;
    server_name www.test.com;
    include proxy.conf;

    # paths to protect
    location ~ ^/admin.* {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://app;
    }
}

server {
    listen 8090;
    include proxy.conf;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://app;
    }
}

Then factored would be configured to run on port 8000 and proxy to 8090 and have base_auth_url url set to /admin/auth.

Sample Paste Configuration

An example to follow if you’re not using a git checkout:

[app:proxy]
use = egg:factored#simpleproxy
server = 127.0.0.1
port = 8090

[filter-app:main]
use = egg:factored#main
next = proxy
appname = REPLACEME

auth_tkt.secret = REPLACEME
auth_tkt.cookie_name = factored
auth_tkt.secure = false
auth_tkt.include_ip = true

auth_timeout = 7200
auth_remember_timeout = 604800
base_auth_url = /auth
supported_auth_schemes =
    Google Auth
    Email

email_auth_window = 120
# in seconds
em.subject = Authentication Request
em.sender = foo@bar.com
em.body =
    You have requested authentication.
    Your temporary access code is: {code}

autouserfinder = SQL
autouserfinder.table_name = users
autouserfinder.email_field = email
autouserfinder.connection_string = sqlite:///%(here)s/users.db

allowcodereminder = true
allowcodereminder.subject = Authentication code reminder
allowcodereminder.sender = foo@bar.com
allowcodereminder.body =
    You have requested code reminder.
    Your google auth code url is: {code}

pyramid.reload_templates = true
pyramid.debug_authorization = true
pyramid.debug_notfound = true
pyramid.debug_routematch = true
pyramid.default_locale_name = en
pyramid.includes =
    pyramid_tm
    pyramid_mailer

sqlalchemy.url = sqlite:///%(here)s/test.db

# all mail settings can be found at http://packages.python.org/pyramid_mailer/#configuration
mail.host = localhost
mail.port = 25

[server:main]
use = egg:Paste#http
# Change to 0.0.0.0 to make public:
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 8000

With Gunicorn

Install:

../bin/easy_install gunicorn

to run:

../bin/gunicorn_paste --workers=2 develop.ini

Customizing Templates

Use pcreate to generate package skeleton:

./bin/pcreate –template=starter factored_customize cd factored_customize

To register template overrides customize __init__.py:

from factored.templates import registerTemplateCustomizations

def includeme(config):

import factored_customize as pkg registerTemplateCustomizations(config, ‘templates’, pkg)

Modify paster ini file to include pyramid addon:

pyramid.includes =

… factored_customize
