class DBus::DBusCookieSHA1

Authentication class using SHA1 crypto algorithm

Class for ‘CookieSHA1’ type authentication. Implements the AUTH DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 mechanism.

the autenticate method (called in stage one of authentification)

  # number of retries we have for auth
  @retries = 1
  hex_encode(Etc.getlogin).to_s # server expects it to be binary

      response = [:AuthOk, hex_response]
      return response

  return if @retries <= 0

  # a little rescue magic
  puts "ERROR: Could not auth, will now exit."
  puts "ERROR: Unable to locate cookie, retry in 1 second."

decode hex to plain

# File lib/dbus/auth.rb, line 110
def hex_decode(encoded)
  encoded.scan(/[[:xdigit:]]{2}/).map { |h| h.hex.chr }.join
end

encode plain to hex

# File lib/dbus/auth.rb, line 103
def hex_encode(plain)
  return nil if plain.nil?

  plain.to_s.unpack1("H*")
