Description

xmlrpc getAuthToken() call is not working. Returns None.

Steps to reproduce

wikiconfig needs actions_excluded = [] so it does not exclude xmlrpc action.

Run the wiki (standalone), create an account (see code below).

Run this code on same machine:

import xmlrpclib
user, password = "TestUser", "TestPassword"
url = "http://localhost:8080/?action=xmlrpc2"
wiki = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(url)
token = wiki.getAuthToken(user, password)
print repr(token)
# will print None, but should print some non-empty auth token

Component selection

• xmlrpc getAuthToken / session handling?

Details

Workaround

None.

Discussion

This bug is blocking update of master19 wiki with current i18n strings as the update scripts rely on this functionality.

    def xmlrpc_getAuthToken(self, username, password, *args):
        """ Returns a token which can be used for authentication
            in other XMLRPC calls. If the token is empty, the username
            or the password were wrong.
        """
        id_handler = XmlRpcAuthTokenIDHandler() # XXX not used below!
...

There is more broken in xmlrpc: xmlrpc_applyAuthToken and xmlrpc_deleteAuthToken still call handle_auth, but handle_auth does not exist any more.

handle_jid_auth is also missing

The example on top is wrong you likly need multicall for the authorisation. -- ReimarBauer 2009-07-22 19:48:40
