User.login - Python API

Logs a user into the system. On success, returns session info, including a UST (user session token) that represents a particular session of that user with the SSO environment.

On invalid input raises zato.sso.api.ValidationError which contains details in the form of status and sub-status codes pointing to specific erroneous conditions.

Note that only users whose approval_status is "approved" will be able to log in, otherwise an error will be raised.

self.sso.user.login

login(self, cid, username, password, current_app, remote_addr, user_agent=None, has_remote_addr=False, has_user_agent=False, new_password='', totp_code=None)

  • cid: Correlation ID used by audit log
  • username: Name of a user to log in
  • password: That user's password
  • current_app: Name of application the user is logging in from
  • remote_addr: User's remote address
  • user_agent: User agent string, e.g. "Firefox 345"
  • totp_code: Optional TOTP code if user has two-factor authentication enabled
  • has_remote_addr: Should be set to True if input remote_addr was sent explicitly by user in JSON or to False if it was extracted by the caller (e.g. from the WSGI environment)
  • has_user_agent: Should be set to True if input user_agent was sent explicitly by user in JSON or to False if it was extracted by the caller (e.g. from the WSGI environment)
  • new_password: User's new password - should be sent in if the password for user is currently required to be changed
  • Returns: A zato.sso.session.SessionInfo object with attributes:
    • username - taken from input
    • ust - UST, in encrypted form
    • user_id - ID of the newly logged in user
    • creation_time - when was the session created, in UTC
    • expiration_time - when will the session expire, in UTC
