The Command Line Interpreter (CLI) may be used to drive the RBAC System APIs, to test, verify and understand a particular RBAC policy.

Completed the setup described: README-QUICKSTART
Sample RBAC0 Policy
This tutorial covers the basics, RBAC Core: Many-to-many relationships between users, roles and perms and selective role activations.
py-fortress adds to the mix one non-standard feature: constraint validations on user and role entity activation.
The simple policy includes constraints being setup on user and role. Later we’ll demo a role timing out of the session.
USERS
ROLES
Constraints are optional and include time, date, day and lock date validations

GETTING STARTED
THE SYNTAX FOR TESTING PY-FORTRESS SYSTEM COMMANDS:
clitest operation --arg1 --arg2 ... WHERE CLITEST EXECUTES A PACKAGE SCRIPT THAT MAPS TO THIS MODULE:
pyfortress.test.cli_test_authTHE OPERATION IS (PICK ONE)
auth => access_mgr.create_session
check => access_mgr.check_access
roles => access_mgr.session_roles
perms => access_mgr.session_perms
add => access_mgr.add_active_role
drop => access_mgr.drop_active_role
show => displays contents of session to stdout
Where operations => functions here: access_mgr.py
THE ARGS ARE ‘–‘ + ATTRIBUTE NAME + ATTRIBUTE VALUE
–uid and –password from user.py
–obj_name, –op_name and –obj_id from perm.py
–role used for the role name
COMMAND USAGE TIPS
The description of the commands, i.e. required and optional arguments, can be inferred via the api doc inline to the access_mgr module.
This program ‘pickles’ (serializes) the RBAC session to a file called sess.pickle, and places in the executable folder. This simulates an RBAC runtime to test these commands.
Call the auth operation first, subsequent ops will use and refresh the session.
Constraints on user and roles are enforced. For example, if user has timeout constraint of 30 (minutes), and the delay between ops for existing session exceeds, it will be deactivated.

SETUP AN RBAC POLICY USING ADMIN_MGR CLI
To setup RBAC test data, we’ll be using another utility that was introduced here: README-CLI.md.
From the py-fortress/test folder, enter the following commands:
1. user add – chorowitz
$ cli user add --uid chorowitz --password 'secret' --timeout 30user chorowitz has a 30 minute inactivity timeout
2. role add – account-mgr
$ cli role add --name 'account-mgr'3. role add – auditor
$ cli role add --name 'auditor' --timeout 5role auditor has a 5 minute inactivity timeout, more later about this…
4. user assign – chorowitz to role account-mgr
$ cli user assign --uid 'chorowitz' --role 'account-mgr'5. user assign – chorowitz to role auditor
$ cli user assign --uid 'chorowitz' --role 'auditor'6. object add – page456
$ cli object add --obj_name page4567. perm add – page456.read
$ cli perm add --obj_name page456 --op_name read8. perm add – page456.edit
$ cli perm add --obj_name page456 --op_name edit9. perm add – page456.remove
$ cli perm add --obj_name page456 --op_name remove10. perm grant – page456.edit to role account-mgr
$ cli perm grant --obj_name page456 --op_name edit --role account-mgr11. perm grant – page456.remove to role account-mgr
$ cli perm grant --obj_name page456 --op_name remove --role account-mgr12. perm grant – page456.read to role auditor
$ cli perm grant --obj_name page456 --op_name read --role auditor________________________________________________________________________________
PERFORM CLI_TEST_AUTH.PY ACCESS_MGRCOMMANDS
From the py-fortress/test folder, enter the following commands:
1. auth – access_mgr.create_session – authenticate, activate roles:
$ clitest auth --uid 'chorowitz' --password 'secret'
uid=chorowitz
auth
successNow the session has been pickled in on file system in current directory.
2. show – output user session contents to stdout:
$ clitest show
show
session
is_authenticated: True
user:
last_access:
user
cn: chorowitz
constraint:
system: []
roles: ['account-mgr', 'auditor']
dn: uid=chorowitz,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
uid: chorowitz
internal_id: 552c1a24-5087-4458-98f1-8c60167a8b7c
reset: []
sn: chorowitz
User Constraint:
name: chorowitz
raw: chorowitz$30$$$$$$$
timeout: 30
User-Role Constraint[1]:
name: account-mgr
raw: account-mgr$0$$$$$$$
User-Role Constraint[2]:
name: auditor
raw: auditor$5$$$$$$$
timeout: 5
successDisplays the contents of session to stdout.
3. check – access_mgr.check_access – perm page456.read:
$ clitest check --obj_name page456 --op_name read
op_name=read
obj_name=page456
check
successThe user has auditor activated so unless timeout validation failed this will succeed.
4. check – access_mgr.check_access – perm page456.edit:
$ clitest check --obj_name page456 --op_name edit
op_name=edit
obj_name=page456
check
successThe user has account-mgr activated and this will succeed.
5. check – access_mgr.check_access – perm page456.remove:
$ clitest check --obj_name page456 --op_name remove
op_name=remove
obj_name=page456
check
successThe user has account-mgr activated and this will succeed.
6. get – access_mgr.session_perms:
$ clitest perms
perms
page456.read:0
abstract_name: page456.read
roles: ['auditor']
internal_id: d6887434-050c-48d8-85b0-7c803c9fcf07
obj_name: page456
op_name: read
page456.edit:1
abstract_name: page456.edit
roles: ['account-mgr']
internal_id: 02189535-4b39-4058-8daf-af0e09b0d235
obj_name: page456
op_name: edit
page456.remove:2
abstract_name: page456.remove
roles: ['account-mgr']
internal_id: 10dea5d1-ff1d-4c3d-90c8-edeb4c7bb05b
obj_name: page456
op_name: remove
successDisplay all perms allowed for activated roles to stdout confirms that user indeed can read, edit and remove from Page456.
7. drop – access_mgr.drop_active_role – auditor:
$ clitest drop --role auditor
drop
role=auditor
successRBAC distinguishes between roles assigned or activated and privileges can be altered in the midst of a session.
8. roles – access_mgr.session_roles
$ clitest roles
roles
account-mgr:0
raw: account-mgr$30$$$20180101$none$$$1234567
end_date: none
name: account-mgr
timeout: 30
successNotice the audit role is no longer active.
9. check – access_mgr.check_access – perm page456.read (again):
$ clitest check --obj_name page456 --op_name read
op_name=read
obj_name=page456
check
failedThe auditor role was deactivated so even though it’s assigned, user cannot perform as one.
10. add – access_mgr.add_active_role – auditor:
$ clitest add --role auditor
add
role=auditor
successNow the user should be allowed to resume audit activities.
11. roles – access_mgr.session_roles:
$ clitest roles
roles
account-mgr:0
raw: account-mgr$30$$$20180101$none$$$1234567
end_date: none
name: account-mgr
timeout: 30
auditor:1
raw: auditor$5$$$20180101$none$$$1234567
timeout: 5
name: auditor
begin_lock_date: success
successNotice the audit role has been activated once again.
12. check – access_mgr.check_access – perm page456.read (for the 3rd time):
$ clitest check --obj_name page456 --op_name read
op_name=read
obj_name=page456
check
successThe auditor role activated once again so user can do auditor things again.
13. Wait 5 minutes before performing the next step.
Allow enough time for auditor role timeout to occur before moving to the next step. Now, if you run the roles command, the auditor role will once again be missing. This behavior is controlled by the ‘timeout’ attribute on either a user or role constraint.
14. check – access_mgr.check_access – perm page456.read:
$ clitest check --obj_name page456 --op_name read
op_name=read
obj_name=page456
check
failedBecause the auditor role has timeout constraint set to 5 (minutes), it was deactivated automatically from the session.
