Bases: object

Create a connection to a CAS server.

Parameters
hostnamestring or list-of-strings, optional

Host or URL to connect to. This parameter can also be specified by a CAS_URL or CAS_HOST environment variable.

portint or long, optional

Port number. If not specified, the value will come from the cas.port option or CAS_PORT environment variable. If a URL is specified in the first parameter, that port number will be used.

usernamestring, optional

Name of user on CAS host. This parameter can also be specified in a CAS_USER environment variable.

passwordstring, optional

Password of user on CAS host or OAuth token. If an OAuth token is specified, the username parameter should be None. This parameter can also be specified in a CAS_PASSWORD or CAS_TOKEN environment variable.

sessionstring, optional

ID of existing session to reconnect to.

localestring, optional

Name of locale used for the session.

namestring, optional

User-definable name for the session.

nworkersint or long, optional

Number of worker nodes to use.

authinfostring or list-of-strings, optional

The filename or list of filenames of authinfo/netrc files used for authentication.

protocolstring, optional

The protocol to use for communicating with the server. This protocol must match the protocol spoken by the specified server port. If the first parameter is a URL, that protocol will be used.

pathstring, optional

Base path of URL when using the REST protocol.

ssl_ca_liststring, optional

The path to the SSL certificates for the CAS server.

authcodestring, optional

Authorization code from SASLogon used to retrieve an OAuth token.

**kwargsany, optional

Arbitrary keyword arguments used for internal purposes only.

Returns
CAS object
Raises
IOError

When a connection can not be established.

Examples

To create a connection to a CAS host, you simply supply a hostname (or list of hostnames), a port number, and user credentials. Here is an example specifying a single hostname, and username and password as strings.

>>> conn = swat.CAS('mycashost.com', 5570, 'username', 'password')

If you use an authinfo file and it is in your home directory, you don’t have to specify any username or password. You can override the authinfo file location with the authinfo= parameter. This form also works for Kerberos authentication.

>>> conn = swat.CAS('mycashost.com', 5570)

If you specify multiple hostnames, it will connect to the first available server in the list.

>>> conn = swat.CAS(['mycashost1.com', 'mycashost2.com', 'mycashost3.com'],
                    5570, 'username', 'password')

URLs can also be used for both binary and REST protocols. Notice that you need to specify the username= and password= keywords since the port number is skipped.

>>> conn = swat.CAS('cas://mycashost1.com:5570',
...                 username='username', password='password')
>>> conn = swat.CAS('http://mycashost1.com:80',
...                 username='username', password='password')

To connect to an existing CAS session, you specify the session identifier.

>>> conn = swat.CAS('mycashost.com', 5570,
...                 session='ABCDEF12-ABCD-EFG1-2345-ABCDEF123456')

If you wish to change the locale used on the server, you can use the locale= option.

>>> conn = swat.CAS('mycashost.com', 5570, locale='es_US')

To limit the number of worker nodes in a grid, you use the nworkers= parameter.

>>> conn = swat.CAS('mycashost.com', 5570, nworkers=4)
