Example auth

Used for authorizing the socket connection. A successful authentication will respond with OK (17)

Authorization can be done by using either a username and password combination or by a token.

Syntax username/password

[username, password]

Syntax token

"token_string"

Example username/password

As an example we create an authentication package for the default admin user with password pass.

This is the package data for our authentication request:

["admin", "pass"]

Serializing the above using MessagePack results in the following 12 bytes:

\x92\xa5admin\xa4pass

Now we create the header. For this example we just use Id 0:

• Data length (12) \x0c\x00\x00\x00
• Identifier (0) \x00\x00
• Auth package type (33) \x21
• Inverse type check bit (222) \xde

Sending the Auth package

\x0c\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x21\xde\x92\xa5admin\xa4pass

Responding OK package

\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x11\xee

Example token

First, a token is required and can be created using the new_token() function.

Suppose our token is RzDFlsoucQfDqrwrfGGEtc.

Serializing the token using MessagePack results in the following 23 bytes:

\xb6RzDFlsoucQfDqrwrfGGEtc

Now we create the header. For this example we just use Id 0:

• Data length (23) \x17\x00\x00\x00
• Identifier (0) \x00\x00
• Auth package type (33) \x21
• Inverse type check bit (222) \xde

Sending the Auth package

\x17\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x21\xde\xb6RzDFlsoucQfDqrwrfGGEtc

Responding OK package

\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x11\xee
