Forms

Additional non-userprofile fields used during registration.

Currently supported: recaptcha

class invenio_accounts.forms.RegistrationFormRecaptcha(*args, **kwargs)

Form for editing user profile.

Parameters

• formdata – Input data coming from the client, usually request.form or equivalent. Should provide a “multi dict” interface to get a list of values for a given key, such as what Werkzeug, Django, and WebOb provide.

• obj – Take existing data from attributes on this object matching form field attributes. Only used if formdata is not passed.

• prefix – If provided, all fields will have their name prefixed with the value. This is for distinguishing multiple forms on a single page. This only affects the HTML name for matching input data, not the Python name for matching existing data.

• data – Take existing data from keys in this dict matching form field attributes. obj takes precedence if it also has a matching attribute. Only used if formdata is not passed.

• meta – A dict of attributes to override on this form’s meta instance.

• extra_filters – A dict mapping field attribute names to lists of extra filter functions to run. Extra filters run after filters passed when creating the field. If the form has filter_<fieldname>, it is the last extra filter.

• kwargs – Merged with data to allow passing existing data as parameters. Overwrites any duplicate keys in data. Only used if formdata is not passed.

class invenio_accounts.forms.RevokeForm(*args, **kwargs)

Form for revoking a session.

Parameters

• formdata – Input data coming from the client, usually request.form or equivalent. Should provide a “multi dict” interface to get a list of values for a given key, such as what Werkzeug, Django, and WebOb provide.

• obj – Take existing data from attributes on this object matching form field attributes. Only used if formdata is not passed.

• prefix – If provided, all fields will have their name prefixed with the value. This is for distinguishing multiple forms on a single page. This only affects the HTML name for matching input data, not the Python name for matching existing data.

• data – Take existing data from keys in this dict matching form field attributes. obj takes precedence if it also has a matching attribute. Only used if formdata is not passed.

• meta – A dict of attributes to override on this form’s meta instance.

• extra_filters – A dict mapping field attribute names to lists of extra filter functions to run. Extra filters run after filters passed when creating the field. If the form has filter_<fieldname>, it is the last extra filter.

• kwargs – Merged with data to allow passing existing data as parameters. Overwrites any duplicate keys in data. Only used if formdata is not passed.

invenio_accounts.forms.confirm_register_form_factory(Form, app)

Return confirmation for extended registration form.

Hash

Legacy Invenio hash support.

class invenio_accounts.hash.InvenioAesEncryptedEmail(salt=None, **kwds)

Invenio AES encryption of user email using password as secret key.

Invenio 1.x was AES encrypting the users email address with the password as the secret key and storing it in a blob column. This e.g. caused problems when a user wanted to change email address. This hashing engine, differs from Invenio 1.x in that it sha256 hashes the encrypted value as well to produce a string in the same length instead of a binary blob. It is not done for extra security, just for convenience of migration to using passlib’s sha512. An upgrade recipe is provided to migrated existing binary password hashes to hashes of this engine.

classmethod from_string(hash, **context)

to_string()
