Instance Method Details

__init__(self, code=1, id=None, secret='', authenticator=None, **attributes)
(Constructor)

Constructor
Parameters:
code - packet type code
           (type=integer (8bits))
id - packet identifaction number
           (type=integer (8 bits))
secret - secret needed to communicate with a RADIUS server
           (type=string)
Overrides:
pyrad.packet.Packet.__init__

PwCrypt(self, password)

Obfuscate password

RADIUS hides passwords in packets by using an algorithm based on the MD5 hash of the pacaket authenticator and RADIUS secret. If no authenticator has been set before calling PwCrypt one is created automatically. Changing the authenticator after setting a password that has been encrypted using this function will not work.
Parameters:
password - plaintext password
           (type=string)
Returns:
obfuscated version of the password
           (type=string)

PwDecrypt(self, password)

Unobfuscate a RADIUS password

RADIUS hides passwords in packets by using an algorithm based on the MD5 hash of the pacaket authenticator and RADIUS secret. This function reverses the obfuscation process.
Parameters:
password - obfuscated form of password
           (type=string)
Returns:
plaintext password
           (type=string)

RequestPacket(self)

Create a ready-to-transmit authentication request packet

Return a RADIUS packet which can be directly transmitted to a RADIUS server.
Returns:
raw packet
           (type=string)
