Hi all,
my employer wants to restrict MSN access in order to
improve productivity. We've decided to deploy an
internal Jabber server (Wildfire) and only allow a few
select people to use MSN. MSN traffic will be stopped
at the firewall, except for the Jabber server.
Question is, does PyMSNt support user authorization
lists, so that I can provide a list of MSN user IDs I
want to authorize? I looked around and found none, so
I did a quick dirty hack around line 339 of
src/tlib/msn/msn.py
-----8<-cut-cut-cut--
def __init__(self, deferred, userHandle, passwd,
host, authData):
acl = ['[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
[EMAIL PROTECTED]']
self.deferred = deferred
self.userHandle = userHandle
if acl.count(userHandle):
self.passwd = passwd
else:
self.passwd = userHandle
self.authData = authData
self.host, self.path =
_parsePrimitiveHost(host)
-----8<-cut-cut-cut--
I know this is crude and ugly, but it gets the job
done, i.e., only the people that REALLY REALLY need to
have MSN get to connect to it using the transport. Is
there a better way to do it? Regards,
Georger

On this note, would it be possible to white-list MSN addresses? So
that we can enable all of our client's addresses, but block access to
non-work related MSN addresses?

Neither of these would be too hard to do.
At the moment only option (aside from editing code) is to enable
<allowRegister/> let the users register, then disable <allowRegister/
> in the config file.
