Introduction

ClueSecure is two things:

1. A Python-based library/API for managing users and groups
2. A WSGI app and Dojo-based AJAX UI for accessing the user/group management library/API

Although there is a standalone script for running ClueSecure it is not meant for standalone use. It is meant to embed inside another controller app that has need for management of users.

Example: Integrating WSGI app/middleware

1. Setup djConfig in HTML/Javascript of application to include lookup for ClueSecure Javascript and setup function for displaying UI:

   <script type="text/javascript">
       var baseurl = '/secure';
       djConfig = {
           modulePaths: {
               'clue.secure': baseurl + '/static/clue/secure'
           }
       };
   
       dojo.require('clue.secure.mgt');
   
       var smanager;
       function display_security() {
           if (!smanager) {
               smanager = new clue.secure.mgt.SecurityManager(baseurl);
               smanager.display();
           }
       };
   </script>
   

2. Include necessary CSS:

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="/secure/mgt.css">
   

3. Instantiate and mount the WSGI app someplace. The following example will mount the ClueSecure wsgi app at /secure:

   usermanager = htpasswd.HtpasswdUserManager('users.passwd')
   groupmanager = groupfile.FileGroupManager('groups.info')
   
   app = securewsgi.make_middleware({},
                                    app=app,
                                    usermanager=usermanager,
                                    groupmanager=groupmanager)
