[Twisted-Python] Passing information from SSL postconnection check to application

[Henrik Thostrup Jensen]

Hi

I have an application which uses M2Crypto authentication. I use the
wrapper supplied by M2Crypto, and can do postConnection check just
fine. I need to pass along some of the information from the client
credentials, but I cannot figure out how to do this.

The code looks something like this:

from twisted.application import service, internet
from twisted.protocols import policies
from M2Crypto import SSL
from M2Crypto.SSL.TwistedProtocolWrapper import TLSProtocolWrapper

def protocol_factory(factory, wrapped_protocol):

        wrapper = TLSProtocolWrapper(factory,
                                     wrapped_protocol,
                                     startPassThrough=0,
                                     client=0,
                                     contextFactory=ServerContextFactory(),
                                     postConnectionCheck=MyChecker())
        return wrapper


factory = ...

wrapper = policies.WrappingFactory(factory)
wrapper.protocol = protocol_factory
wrapper.protocol.TLS = True
factory.startTLS = True
factory.sslChecker = SSL.Checker.Checker()

factory = wrapper

application = service.Application('foo')
service = internet.TCPServer(8443, factory)
service.setServiceParent(application)

Currently the original factory is the factory from twisted.web2, but
I would like to be able to do this, on a general level, e.g., from AMP
as well. Setting the information into some global value is sure to fail,
but I cannot see how else to propagate information.
