kandi X-RAY | knox Summary

knox is a Python library typically used in Security, TLS applications. knox has no bugs, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However knox has 4 vulnerabilities. You can download it from GitHub.

The name is derived from "Fort Knox" the safest place to store valuables in history. At least that is the myth. This tool or set of utilities is explicitly for managing TLS certificates including metadata about them and storing it in a backend. Primary components used are Python, Hashicorp Vault, Let’s Encrypt and certbot. [Let’s Encrypt] ) is a certificate authority managed by the [Internet Security Research Group (ISRG)] ). It utilizes the [Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME)] ) to automatically deploy free SSL certificates that are trusted by nearly all major browsers. [The certificate compatibility list can be found here] ). Lets Encrypt has revolutionized the distribution of certificates for public facing servers. [Hashicorp Vault] ) is a tool for storing secrets. It has a [PKI Secret Engine] ) backend which allows to use it as a certificate authority in an internal public key infrastructure deployment. Until now, Vault is best suited for issuing private certificates. Let’s Encrypt and Hashicorp Vault are complementary in certificate management.

            Is there an R function to help turn State abbreviations into full names? Or Vice Versa?
            Asked 2022-Apr-18 at 03:52

            I have two large-ish data frames I am trying to append...

            In df1, I have state codes, county codes, state names (Alabama, Alaska, etc.), county names, and years from 2010:2020.

            In df2, I have county names, state abbreviations (AL, AK), and data for the year 2010 (which I am trying to merge into df1. The issue lies in that without specifying the state name and simply merging df1 and df2, some of the data which I am trying to get into df1 is duplicated due to there being some counties with the same name...hence, I am trying to also join by state to prevent this, but I have state abbreviations, and state names.

            Is there any way in which I can make either the state names in df1 abbreviations, or the state names in df2 full names? Please let me know! Thank you for the help.

            Asked 2022-Mar-30 at 19:06

            I am creating a simple registration/login app in Django Rest Framework using Rest APIs with Django Rest Knox's authentication, in which, upon registration, user will also upload a CSV File (which is an optional field).

            I have a Person Model which is an extended (derived or OneToOne) Model of User Model and has FileField for the file to be uploaded.

            I have two ModelSerializers, one is based on User Model named MainRegisterSerializer and serializes username, email and password fields, and the other is based on Person Model named RegisterSerializer, which serializes FileField and register field (that is initialized with MainRegisterSerializer class's constructor.

            Now, in views.py, I am accessing the RegisterSerializer, to get the data from front that which includes username, email and password fields from User Model, and FileField from Person Model.

            But, when I enter data in front-end and upload the file, and click on POST button, I get the following error:

            By default jest will find any test files in your entire project. If you are building or copying files to a build/release directory, you need to do one of the following:

            1. exclude test files from your build pipeline, OR
            2. exclude your build directories from jest

            Django and react login with google authentication
            Asked 2022-Jan-13 at 12:45

            I was trying set up google authentication with react frontend and django rest framework backend. I set up both the frontend and backend using this two part tutorial, PART1 & PART2. When I try to login with google in the frontend I get POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/google-login/ 400 (Bad Request) I think it's because my google api needs an access token and an authorization code to be passed. After debugging the react js, I noticed the response I get from google doesn't have an authorization code. I suspect because responseType is permission(by default), Source:React login props , instead of code. I was wondering how would you change the response type in react? (I'm not even sure if this alone is the issue)

            Answered 2021-Nov-04 at 23:26

            After investigating a bit on my end, I think I might have a solution that works for you.

            I've messed with OAuth before, and it's quite tricky sometimes because it has to be robust. So a bunch of security policies usually get in the way.

            I'll provide my full step-by-step, since I was able to get it working, trying my best to match what you posted.

            Firstly, to have a clean slate, I went off the example code linked in the tutorials. I cloned and built the project, and did the following:

            • Creating a new project on GCP
              • Configured the OAuth consent screen
                • I set the User type to "internal". This options may not be available if you're not using an account under GSuite (which I am). "External" should be fine though, just that "internal" is the easiest to test.
              • Created a OAuth 2.0 Client
                • Added http://localhost:3000 to the "Authorized JavaScript origins" and "Authorized redirect URIs" sections
            • Register a Django superuser
              • Registered a Site, with value of localhost:8000 for both fields.
              • Went into the admin panel, and added a Social Application with Client ID and Secret Key as the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" from GCP, respectively. I also picked the localhost site that we added earlier and added it to the right hand box. (I left Key blank)

            Example of my Application Page

            • Filled in the clientId field in App.js, in the params of the GoogleLogin component.

            Here's where I ran into a bit of trouble, but this is good news as I was able to reproduce your error! Looking at the request in the network inspector, I see that for me, no body was passed, which is clearly the direct cause of the error. But looking at App#responseGoogle(response), it clearly should pass a token of some sort, because we see the line googleLogin(response.accessToken).

            So what is happening is that accounts.google.com is NOT returning a proper response, so something is happening on their end, and we get an invalid response, but we fail silently because javascript is javascript.

            After examining the response that Google gave back, I found this related SO post that allowed me to fix the issue, and interestingly, the solution to it was quite simple: Clear your cache. I'll be honest, I'm not exactly sure why this works, but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that development is on your local machine (localhost/127.0.0.1 difference, perhaps?).

            You can also try to access your site via incognito mode, or another browser, which also worked for me.

            I have knox token set up, can I use it instead of the JWT tokens?

            I don't think I have enough knowledge to properly answer this, but my preliminary research suggests no. AFAIK, you should just store the token that Google gives you, as the token itself is what you'll use to authenticate. It seems that Knox replaces Django's TokenAuthentication, which means that Knox is in charge of generating the token. If you're offloading the login work to Google, I don't see how you could leverage something like Knox. However, I could be very wrong.

            Does the class GoogleLogin(SocialLoginView), take care of the steps of validating the access token and code with google and creating the user with that email in database?

            I believe so. After successfully authenticating with Google (and it calls the backend endpoint correctly), it seems to create a "Social Account" model. An example of what it created for me is below. It retrieved all this information (like my name) from Google.

            Example of my "Social Accounts" page

            As for how to retrieve the login from the browser's local storage, I have no idea. I see no evidence of a cookie, so it must be storing it somewhere else, or you might have to set that up yourself (with React Providers, Services, or even Redux.
