flumotion.twisted.pb.Authenticator

Class Authenticator

I am an object used by FPB clients to create keycards for me and respond to challenges.

I encapsulate keycard-related data, plus secrets which are used locally and not put on the keycard.

I can be serialized over PB connections to a RemoteReference and then adapted with RemoteAuthenticator to present the same interface.
