Package: miniauth
MiniAuth is a small program (and a Python library) for user authentication.
with handy features, making it easy to use in different contexts and integrate with other programs.MiniAuth is simple and portable, runs on Python versions 2.7 and Python 3.4+ and
has no dependencies other than Python standard library.When the Python package is installed, theminiauthCLI entrypoint is provided to manage and use a local database of users,
using a SQLite backend.Features:Passwords are stored salted and hashed. The hash is configurable per record, default is a secure choice (sha512)Supports enabling/disabling usersCredentials can be specified in different ways: command line arguments, standard input, filesWhen used as a Python library, a custom storage can be used instead of default SQLite storageHere is how to create a user and password, then verifying the credentials:$ miniauth save testuser
Password:

$ miniauth verify testuser
Password:
# exit codes report the result of verificationBy default a SQLite DB file is created in current working directory namedminiauth.db.
The path to this file can be configured with the–storageoption.When verifying the credentials, the password can be specified as an argument, or
read from standard input or a file.$ miniauth --storage=user.db --verbose save testuser --password testpassword
No DB detected on "user.db". Creating latest DB schema ...
DB schema updated to version user.db on "1"
created user testuser

# read password from arguments
$ miniauth --storage=user.db --verbose verify testuser testpassword
user testuser credentials are correct

# read password from a file
$ cat file_with_password
testpassword
$ miniauth --storage=user.db --verbose verify testuser --password-file file_with_password
user testuser credentials are correct

# read username and password from a file
$ cat file_with_creds
testuser
testpassword
$ miniauth --storage=user.db --verbose verify --creds-file file_with_creds
user testuser credentials are correctAuthenticating users can be done in other Python applications using miniauth as a library.>>>fromminiauth.authimportMiniAuth>>>auth=MiniAuth('users.db')>>>auth.create_user('user','password')True>>>auth.verify_user('user','password')True>>>auth.verify_user('user','invalidpassword')FalseMiniAuth can use storage backends other than the default SQLite based one.
