Check login details

[jakubjedelsky]

Is it possible to add some kind of check if login details are ok? Just check if user is correctly logged in RT and return True / False?

It's not a direct api exposed by RT. However if you're using CookieAuthenticatoryou could do something like:

auth = CookieAuthenticator(
    "john.foo",
    "john.foo",
    "http://rt.easter-eggs.org/demos/stable/REST/1.0/",
)
auth._login()

z4rimac:~ Z4R$ curl "http://rt.easter-eggs.org/demos/stable/REST/1.0/" -d "user=john.foo&pass=john.foo"
RT/4.0.5-116-g591e06a 200 Ok
    ....
z4rimac:~ Z4R$ curl "http://rt.easter-eggs.org/demos/stable/REST/1.0/" -d "user=john.foo&pass=john.fool"
RT/4.0.5-116-g591e06a 401 Credentials required
