[web2py] Re: Introducing myself
Hi Luciano, You said that right, web2py has a great community :) .. welcome aboard. I'm sure you will find web2py a superb web development framework. I have been using web2py casually for the last one year or so, and on a serious basis for the last 2 months. If you are happy about the inbuilt cron i think you will be overjoyed when you check out the in built scheduler :D take a look at: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4?search=scheduler#Scheduler-(experimental) http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/8?search=scheduler and watch this video: http://vimeo.com/27478796 I Personally think the web2py documentation (the book) is a great resource. A new CookBook is being published by PacktPub And as you rightly pointed out, the google group is one of web2py's biggest strengths.

Management interface to handle some configurations (like FTP servers, schedule updates and others). Handle backups (data and application). And the first feature that made me chose web2py, easy deployment. As the application doesn't have to handle a lot of users, the Rocket server is more than enough to handle threads to communicate with background player, ftp and management interface. I'm very happy to have found a built-in cron on web2py so I can focus in other features instead of build my own scheduler. :-) Also the new scheduler seems useful for the FTP update task. For keep the player working I start a thread (on demand) and it has worked well, I'll send a specific mail to show the idea and get some feedback. So far, I found the documentation in web2py community not so well organized and but this list (and web2py-dev) seem to be very worth, as far as I navigated in the archives. I've been working with Django and before I worked with Plone. I started to play with Python occasionally in 2005 and since 2008 I've been working only with it. :-) I looking forward to help the community. :-) Regards, -- Luciano Pacheco blog.lucmult.com.br

Good tip Wikus..
you can also do the something similar with SQLFORM.factory and not
define in the model (that way no DB table is created)
in controller
MY_OPTIONS = [a,b,c]
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field(my_options, list:string,
default=MY_OPTIONS,widget=SQLFORM.widgets.checkboxes.widget,
requires=[IS_IN_SET(MY_OPTIONS,

if form.accepts(request.vars):
#code to process form
return dict(form=form)

[web2py] Re: Mobile OTP authentication (motp) plugin for web2py
Thanks for the suggestions Alan. There is a CRYPT helper object of web2py that can be instanitated with different options. It is used for standard authentication. (I am not sure if if can be of use for AES)http://web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.validators.CRYP... I do not think CRYPT has AES. I am planning on writing a small validator similar to CRYPT, but using AES. Will probably use the HMAC key as the default encryption string Maybe you could make custom Auth forms and let the use choose the input sources. You could also call extra authentication object methods to pre-define options in the model. For this purpose, a paralell object available at the model should store the extra settings. This is configured by the admin in the model definition. the admin has to select the table and field mapping. The problem is if some one has a totally different user auth table defined or if they want to use username instead of email id so how can i build that in the function (motp_auth) The model's auth standard instance hast special settings for handling on-authentication events. It should be possible to catch on-login events and return without storing data. I need to check this out. Will try and figure it out and get back. Thanks :)

[web2py] Mobile OTP authentication (motp) plugin for web2py
just finished writing a motp (http://motp.sourceforge.net/) authentication plugin for web2py. Where do i contribute this code? I would appreciate if some one tests this and gives me some feedback. I have uploaded the code to Google code. project is https://web2py-motp-auth.googlecode.com you can see the source here - https://code.google.com/p/web2py-motp-auth/source/browse/motp_auth.py Some questions I had: - is there any way to prevent web2py from storing the password in the DB after a successful alternate login. One you authenticate with motp. the motp password gets stored in the db. OTP means having an ever changing password. - does web2py have a standard AES api? i would like to (symmetrically) encrypt the stored motp pin and motp secret. Or is it better i just use a external python library? - as of now the user database and user field is hard-coded to use auth_user table and email field respectively. How can i make this variable? (so a user can pass some other database table or field) i also want to implement google authenticator (https://code.google.com/ p/google-authenticator/) auth for web2py. This is another OTP solution. However for google authenticator, you need to use both your site password and the OTP.. so a custom login for would be needed. Would be great solution where that extra bit of security is needed. I personally use google authenticator for my google accounts, and i think the added security is a boon. Would also appreciate your thoughts and comments on OTP in general thanks web2py community.. :)

I wrote this function, to help out with a project I'm working on, that

Say you have a blog, containing active, and inactive posts:
db.define_table('post',
Field('subject'),
Field('post','text'),
Field('is_active','boolean'),
common_filter = lambda query: db.post.is_active == True
)
And we have comments on posts:
db.define_table('comment',
Field('post',db.post),
Field('comment','text')
)
Running db(db.comment.id 0).select(), will select all comments,
including those posts where is_active is False.
Solution:
use this function in a model, module, whatever:
def inherit_common_filter(db, col):
''' gets the common filter of a field refrenced
'''
ref_table_name = col.type.replace('reference ', '')
ref_table = db[ref_table_name]
ref_table_filter = ref_table._common_filter
return lambda query:
col.belongs(db(ref_table_filter(query))._select(ref_table.id))
Now, the new model looks like:
db.define_table('comment',
Field('post',db.post),
Field('comment','text')
)
db.comment._common_filter = inherit_common_filter(db, db.comment)
Now Running db(db.comment.id 0).select(), will select all comments

[web2py] Re: Mobile OTP (motp) and other OTP login methods for web2py
I now have a foggy idea as to how motp (http://motp.sourceforge.net/)
can be implemented.. Here is how i think it should be done:
- extend the auth using define_table.. include 2 custom fields
motp_secret and motp_pin
- define a custom login method (say motp_auth).. should it be
something like the email_auth in the login methods under contrib/
login_methods ..?
- call the custom login method in model like
from gluon.contrib.login_methods.email_auth import email_auth
auth.settings.login_methods.append(motp_auth())
motp password can be calculated by creating a lazy virtual field.
Calculated by
md5('epoch_time'[:-1]+'motp_secret'+'motp_pin').hexdigest()[:6]
now my question:
- how can i retrieve the motp_pin and motp_secret from the auth
username table in the custom login method?
am i on the right path? please correct me if i am wrong

[web2py] Mobile OTP (motp) and other OTP login methods for web2py
Dear web2py community, I am interested in using motp (motp.sourceforge.net) / google authenticator (http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/) with my web2py apps. Both motp and google authenticator have clients available for every possible platform (android, ios, blackberry, j2me, java, windows phone.. etc) Integrating an OTP system into web2py will boost the security of web2py further :) .. the implementation needs to be complete (including a user self registration page) Motp looks very simple to implement. the process is : - the user installs the OTP client on their phone - the OTP program is initialized ; this generates a secret key (which is used while the user registers) - The user also has to have a secret pin (this is also given while registration) the time on both the users phone and the server have to be more or less in sync to authenticate the user just enters the secret pin into the OTP program on his phone, a OTP is generated (The method the OTP is generated is simple .. a md5 sum hash of the utc epoch time + secret string + pin is generated) the user then uses the OTP to login .. on the server this OTP is compared against OTP for the users secret string and key for a 2 minute window an example python motp script is located here (http:// motp.sourceforge.net/motp.py) My question is, how can we extend web2py auth to use motp ? my guess is : - need to extend the auth table to store the secret key and the secret pin (encrypting them is a must i guess) .. how can i encrypt them with say AES ..? - then create a custom auth method, which will check the username and the OTP generated by the motp program.. how can i extend auth to do this? - Also how do i extend the user registration page ..? thanks in advance :) .. i would love to learn, develop and contribute this to web2py..

i have documented the steps i took to install web2py with Cherokee and uwsgi in a public Google document. please find the document here http://goo.gl/ixsL7 . please pardon me for making it a google doc as i have included several screenshots. please go through it, test it and suggest any corrections/changes etc. Hope it helps.
