``django-lockdown`` is a reusable Django application for locking down an entire
site (or particular views), with customizable date ranges and preview
authorization.

Installation
============

Install from PyPI with ``easy_install`` or ``pip``::

pip install django-lockdown

To use ``django-lockdown`` in your Django project:

1. Add ``'lockdown'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``.
If you want to use one of ``django-lockdowns`` default lock down forms,
you'll additionally have to ensure that you have enabled
``django.contrib.auth`` as part of to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``.

2. To enable admin preview of locked-down sites or views with
passwords, set the `LOCKDOWN_PASSWORDS`_ setting to a tuple of one or
more plain-text passwords.

3. Protect the entire site by using middleware, or protect individual views
by applying a decorator to them.

For more advanced customization of admin preview authorization, see
the `LOCKDOWN_FORM`_ setting.

Dependencies
------------

``django-lockdown`` requires `Python`_ 3.6 or later and `Django`_ 2.2 or later.

As an alternative to CPython `PyPy`_ 3.5 and 3.6 are supported as well.

Usage
=====

Using the middleware
--------------------

To lock down the entire site, add the lockdown middleware to your middlewares::

MIDDLEWARE = [
# ...
'lockdown.middleware.LockdownMiddleware',
]

Optionally, you may also add URL regular expressions to a
`LOCKDOWN_URL_EXCEPTIONS`_ setting.

Using the decorator
-------------------

- Import the decorator::

from lockdown.decorators import lockdown

- Apply the decorator to individual views you want to protect. For example::

@lockdown()
def secret_page(request):
# ...

The decorator accepts seven arguments:

``form``
The form to use for providing an admin preview, rather than the form
referenced by `LOCKDOWN_FORM`_. Note that this must be an actual form class,
not a module reference like the setting.

``until_date``
The date to use rather than the date provided by `LOCKDOWN_UNTIL`_.

``after_date``
The date to use rather than the date provided by `LOCKDOWN_AFTER`_.

``logout_key``
A preview logout key to use, rather than the one provided by
`LOCKDOWN_LOGOUT_KEY`_.

``session_key``
The session key to use, rather than the one provided by
`LOCKDOWN_SESSION_KEY`_.

``url_exceptions``
A list of regular expressions for which matching urls can bypass the lockdown
(rather than using those defined in `LOCKDOWN_URL_EXCEPTIONS`_).

``remote_addr_exceptions``
A list of IP-addresses or IP-subnets for which matching URLs can bypass the
lockdown (rather than using those defined in
`LOCKDOWN_REMOTE_ADDR_EXCEPTIONS`_).

``extra_context``
A dictionary of context data that will be added to the default context data
passed to the template.

Any further keyword arguments are passed to the admin preview form. The default
form accepts one argument:

``passwords``
A tuple of passwords to use, rather than the ones provided by
`LOCKDOWN_PASSWORDS`_.

Settings
========

LOCKDOWN_ENABLED
----------------

An optional boolean value that, if set to False, disables
``django-lockdown`` globally. Defaults to True (lock down enabled).

LOCKDOWN_PASSWORDS
------------------

One or more plain-text passwords which allow the previewing of the site or
views protected by django-lockdown::

LOCKDOWN_PASSWORDS = ('letmein', 'beta')

If this setting is not provided (and the default `LOCKDOWN_FORM`_ is being
used), there will be no admin preview for locked-down pages.

If a `LOCKDOWN_FORM`_ other than the default is used, this setting has no
effect.

LOCKDOWN_URL_EXCEPTIONS
-----------------------

An optional list/tuple of regular expressions to be matched against incoming
URLs. If a URL matches a regular expression in this list, it will not be
locked. For example::

LOCKDOWN_URL_EXCEPTIONS = (
r'^/about/$', # unlock /about/
r'\.json$', # unlock JSON API
)

LOCKDOWN_VIEW_EXCEPTIONS
------------------------

An optional list of regular expressions to be matched against the
resolved views of incoming requests. If the URL of an incoming request
resolves to one of the views in the list, it will not be locked.
That's useful if you want to lock down a whole site using the middleware,
but want to whitelist some localized URLs.

For example::

from yourapp import one_view_to_unlock, another_view_to_unlock

LOCKDOWN_VIEW_EXCEPTIONS = [
one_view_to_unlock,
another_view_to_unlock
]

LOCKDOWN_REMOTE_ADDR_EXCEPTIONS
-------------------------------

An optional list of IP-addresses or IP-subnets to be matched against the
requesting IP-address (from `requests.META['REMOTE_ADDR']`). If the
requesting IP-address is in this list, it will not be locked. For example::

LOCKDOWN_REMOTE_ADDR_EXCEPTIONS = [
'127.0.0.1',
'::1',
]

LOCKDOWN_TRUSTED_PROXIES
-------------------------------

A list of trusted proxy IP-addresses to be used in conjunction with
`LOCKDOWN_REMOTE_ADDR_EXCEPTIONS` when a reverse-proxy or load balancer is used.
If the requesting IP address is from the trusted proxies list the last address from
the `X-Forwared-For` header (from `requests.META['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']`) will be
checked against `LOCKDOWN_REMOTE_ADDR_EXCEPTIONS` and locked or unlocked accordingly.

For example::

LOCKDOWN_TRUSTED_PROXIES = [
'172.17.0.1',
]

LOCKDOWN_REMOTE_ADDR_EXCEPTIONS = [
'172.17.0.5',
]

LOCKDOWN_UNTIL
--------------

Used to lock the site down up until a certain date. Set to a
``datetime.datetime`` object.

If neither ``LOCKDOWN_UNTIL`` nor `LOCKDOWN_AFTER`_ is provided (the default),
the site or views will always be locked.

LOCKDOWN_AFTER
--------------

Used to lock the site down after a certain date. Set to a ``datetime.datetime``
object.
