pynetdicom.pdu_primitives.UserIdentityNegotiation¶

class pynetdicom.pdu_primitives.UserIdentityNegotiation[source][source]¶

Representation of the User Identity Negotiation primitive.

Allows peer AEs to exchange generic application information.

The SOP Class Common Extended Negotiation is optional and there may only be a single SOPClassCommonExtendedNegotiation item for each available SOP Class UID.

In general, a User Identity Negotiation request that is accepted will result in Association establishment and possibly a server response if requested and supported by the peer. If a server response is requested but not received then the Requestor must decide how to proceed. An Association rejected due to an authorisation failure will be indicated using Rejection Permanent with a Source of “DICOM UL service provided (ACSE related function)”.

How the Acceptor handles authentication is to be implemented by the end-user and is outside the scope of the DICOM standard.

A-ASSOCIATE-RQ | user_identity_type | positive_response_requested | primary_field | secondary_field

A-ASSOCIATE-AC The server_response parameter is required when a response to the User Identity Negotiation request is to be issued (although this depends on whether or not this is supported by the Acceptor).

user_identity_type¶

A-ASSOCIATE-RQ only. One of the following values:

1 - Username as string in UTF-8
2 - Username as string in UTF-8 and passcode
3 - Kerberos Service ticket
4 - SAML Assertion
5 - JSON Web Token

Type: int or None

positive_response_requested¶

A-ASSOCIATE-RQ only. True when requesting a response, False otherwise (default is False)

Type: bool

primary_field¶

A-ASSOCIATE-RQ only. Contains either the username, Kerberos Service ticket or SAML assertion depending on user_identity_type.

Type: bytes or None

secondary_field¶

A-ASSOCIATE-RQ only. Only required if the user_identity_type is 2, when it should contain the passcode as a bytes object, None otherwise

Type: bytes or None

server_response¶

A-ASSOCIATE-AC only. Shall contain the Kerberos Service ticket or SAML response if the user_identity_type in the Request was 3 or 4. Shall

be None if user_identity_type was 1 or 2.

Type: bytes or None

Examples

>>> from pynetdicom.pdu_primitives import UserIdentityNegotiation
>>> item = UserIdentityNegotiation()
>>> item.user_identity_type = 2
>>> item.positive_response_requested = True
>>> item.primary_field = b'username'
>>> item.secondary_field = b'password'
