## This is a sample access module for the Python nnrpd hook. ## ## See the INN Python Filtering and Authentication Hooks documentation ## for more information. ## The python_access: parameter in readers.conf is used to load this script. ## ## An instance of ACCESS class is passed to nnrpd via the set_auth_hook() ## function imported from nnrpd. The following methods of that class ## are known to nnrpd: ## ## __init__() - Use this method to initialize your ## general variables or open a common ## database connection. May be omitted. ## access_init() - Init function specific to access ## control. May be omitted. ## access(attributes) - Called when a python_access ## statement is reached in the ## processing of readers.conf. Returns ## a dictionary of values representing ## statements to be included in an ## access group. ## access_close() - Called on nnrpd termination. Save ## your state variables or close a ## database connection. May be omitted. ## ## If there is a problem with return codes from any of these methods, ## then nnrpd will die and syslog the exact reason. ## ## There are also a few Python functions defined in nnrpd: ## ## set_auth_hook() - Called by nnrpd as this module is loaded. ## It is used to pass a reference to an ## instance of authentication class to nnrpd. ## syslog() - An equivalent replacement for regular syslog. ## One consideration for using it is to ## uniform nnrpd logging. ## Sample access class.
