# ETHZ IAM Webservice
Manage users, groups and services of the ETH Identity and Access Management system (IAM)
## Command Line Interface
When installing this module, the `iam` command is also installed. The **basic parameters which are always needed** – otherwise they will be asked interactivley – are:
```bash
$ iam -u admin-username --password MY-SECRET-PASSWORD
```
You can also set these environment variables instead:
```bash
$ export IAM_USERNAME=admin-username
$ export IAM_PASSWORD=MY-SECRET-PASSWORD
```
### Group CLI
```bash
$ iam group --help # get extensive help text
# create new group
$ iam group --new id-test-test-01 --ag "ID SIS" -d 'some test description' -t AD -t LDAP ou=AGRL
$ iam group <group-name> # info about a group
$ iam group <group-name> -a user1 -a user2 # add new users
$ iam group <group-name> -r user3 -r user4 # remove users
```
### User CLI
Get info about a user, as well as granting/revoking a service or setting its password:
```bash
$ iam user --help
$ iam user username
$ iam user username --grant-service LDAPS, -g Mailbox
$ iam user username --revoke-service LDAPS, -r Mailbox
$ iam user username --set-password [-s LDAPS [-s Mailbox]] [--service-password $trengGehe1m]
$ iam user username --init-password # sets a random initial password for the user
```
### Person
Get info about a person (identity) and its users. You might either provide a username, a NPID or a email address.
```bash
$ iam person --help
$ iam person username
$ iam person some.person@ethz.ch
$ iam person 123445
```
### Guest
**Create guests**. For the new guest a new username will automatically be generated. This user gets LDAP and VPN service granted. Because by policy the VPN password needs to differ from the other passwords, the result will present the two initial passwords that are set shortly after creating the guest.
**CLI**
```bash
$ iam guest get <username>
$ iam guest new --help
$ iam guest new -f firstname -l lastname -m first.last@unknown.org -d "my test guest" -h host_username -a "Admingroup Name"
{
"firstName": "first",
"lastName": "last",
"mail ": "first.last@unknown.org",
"host ": "host_username",
"respAdminRole ": "Admingroup Name",
"description": "my test guest",
"dateOfBirth": "16.06.2000",
"guestTechnicalContact": "somebody@ethz.ch",
"notification": "To guest and host",
"hostOrg": "06006",
"startDate": "16.06.2021",
"endDate": "16.06.2022",
"username": "flast",
"npid": "3210159",
"init_ldap_password": "xxxxxxx",
}
```
**Default values:**
- `--technicalContact / -c` will default to the email address of the host
- `--notification / -n` will default to «gh», meaning **g**uest and **h**ost will be notified when a guest account expires.
- `--startDate / -s` is today.
- `--endDate / -e` is today + 1 year
- `--dateOfBirth / -b` is today's date in year 2000
**Extend guest**. After a year, you might want to extend the validity of your guest by another year or by a specific number of months
```bash
$ iam guest extend <username> # will extend the guest by 1 year
$ iam guest extend <username> -m 6 # extend it by today+6 months
$ iam guest extend <username> -e 1.4.2022 # extend it until April 1st. 2022
$ iam guest extend <username> -e 2022-04-01 # same thing, different date format
```

user.grant_service("LDAPS")
user.grant_service("Active Directory")
user.grant_service("Mailbox")
user.grant_service("WLAN_VPN")
user.revoke_service("LDAPS")
user.delete()
user.add_to_group('groupname')
user.remove_from_group('groupname')
```
### Mailbox Service
**get service information**
```
gs = user.get_service("Mailbox")
gs.data
{
"sn": "Lastname",
"givenName": "Firstname",
"displayName": "neumond",
"description": "this acccount is for creating moons",
"mail": "neumond@ethz.ch",

```
gs.forward_address = 'neumond@example.com'
gs.description = 'some new description'
gs.save()
```
### Group and Group Members
**get single group** - returns a Group object or throws a ValueError if group is not found
```
group = e.new_group(
name = 'group-name',
description = 'something meaningful',
admingroup = 'ID SIS', # responsible admin group
targets = ['AD', 'LDAPS'], # please specify at least one target system
members = ['user1', 'user2']
)
group = e.get_group('groupname')
group = e.get_group(123456) # gidNumber
group.data # all data received from webservice
group.members # returns array of usernames or group-names
group.gidNumber
group.<attribute>
```
**add/remove group members**
```
group.add_members('some', 'new', 'members')
group.set_members('just', 'these')
group.del_members('remove', 'these', 'members')
```
**search for groups** - Result is always a list of groups or an empty list
```
groups = e.get_groups(agroup='ID SIS')
groups = e.get_groups(name='starts_with*')
groups = e.get_groups(agroup='ID SIS', name='starts_with*')
```
### Mailinglists
```
ml = e.get_mailinglist('ID.SIS.SSDM')
ml = e.get_mailinglist('sis@id.ethz.ch')
ml.name
ml.mail
ml.gidNumber

ml.displayName
...
ml.members # returns all (direct) members of that list
ml.add_members('user1', 'user2')
