django-rpcenable | Simple module to enable exposing functions

django-rpcenable is a Python library. django-rpcenable has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However django-rpcenable build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

Simple module to enable exposing functions over XML-RPC. While you are free to implement a completely custom authentication, django-rpcenable comes bundled with a ready-to-use, stateless authentication mechanism. The built-in authentication relies a on having the clocks between the authenticated parries synchronized to a certain degree (+- 5 minutes by default). The authentication also relies on having a configured Django Cache backend, which supports reliable expiration of cache objects. It is highly recommended to use Memcached for that purpose. To be able to before the server, the client must: 0. Know its own username and API Key (a shared secret between the client and the server) 1. Generate a completely random string, called nonce. Minimal length: 16 characters by default 2. Get the current timestamp (Unix time, integer) 3. Generate a SHA-256 HMAC of its API key along with %s;%s;%s % (nonce, timestamp, username) 4. Send over the 4 arguments (nonce, timestamp, username, signature) as the first argumens to the authenticated function. The above scheme allows for secure, stateless authentication between the client and the server. Built-in authentication - practice.
