pypureomapi
===========

pypureomapi is a Python implementation of the DHCP OMAPI protocol used in the most popular Linux DHCP server from ISC. 
It can be used to query and modify leases and other objects exported by an ISC DHCP server. 
The interaction can be authenticated using HMAC-MD5. Besides basic ready to use operations, custom interaction can be implemented with limited effort. 
It can be used as a drop-in replacement for pyomapic, but provides error checking and extensibility beyond pyomapic.

## Server side configugration for ISC DHCP3

To allow a OMAPI access to your ISC DHCP3 DHCP Server you should define the following in your dhcpd.conf config file:

```
key defomapi {
	algorithm hmac-md5;
	secret +bFQtBCta6j2vWkjPkNFtgA==; # FIXME: replace by your own dnssec key (see below)!!!
};

omapi-key defomapi;
omapi-port 7911;
```

**Replace the given secret by a key created on your own!**

To generate a key use the following command:

```
/usr/sbin/dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 128 -n USER defomapi
```

which will create two files containing a HMAC MD5 key. Alternatively, it
is possible to generate the key value for the config file directly:

```
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=16 count=1 2>/dev/null | openssl enc -e -base64
```

## Example omapi lookup

This is a short example, of how to use basic lookup functions **lookup_mac** and **lookup_ip** to quickly query a DHCP lease on a ISC DHCP Server.


```
from __future__ import print_function
import pypureomapi

KEYNAME="defomapi"
BASE64_ENCODED_KEY="+bFQtBCta6j2vWkjPkNFtgA=="  # FIXME: be sure to replace this by your own key!!!

dhcp_server_ip="127.0.0.1"
port = 7911 # Port of the omapi service

omapi = pypureomapi.Omapi(dhcp_server_ip, port, KEYNAME, BASE64_ENCODED_KEY)
mac = omapi.lookup_mac("192.168.0.250")
print("%s is currently assigned to mac %s" % (lease_ip, mac))

ip = omapi.lookup_ip(mac)
print("%s mac currently has ip %s assigned" % (mac, ip))
```

If you need full lease information, you can also query the full lease directly by using **lookup_by_lease**, which gives you the full lease details as output:

```
lease = omapi.lookup_by_lease(mac="24:79:2a:0a:13:c0")
for k, v in res.items():
	print("%s: %s" % (k, v))
```

Output:
```
state: 2
ip-address: 192.168.10.167
dhcp-client-identifier: b'\x01$y*\x06U\xc0'
subnet: 6126
pool: 6127
hardware-address: 24:79:2a:0a:13:c0
hardware-type: 1
ends: 1549885690
starts: 1549885390
tstp: 1549885840
tsfp: 1549885840
atsfp: 1549885840
cltt: 1549885390
flags: 0
clientip: b'192.168.10.167'
clientmac: b'24:79:2a:0a:13:c0'
clientmac_hostname: b'24792a0a13c0'
vendor-class-identifier: b'Ruckus CPE'
agent.circuit-id: b'\x00\x04\x00\x12\x00-'
agent.remote-id: b'\x00\x06\x00\x12\xf2\x8e!\x00'
agent.subscriber-id: b'wifi-basement'
```

To check if a lease is still valid, you should check ends and state:

```
if lease["ends"] < time.time() or lease["state"] != 2:
    print("Lease is not valid")
```

Most attributes will be decoded directly into the corresponding human readable values. 
Converted attributes are ip-address, hardware-address and all 32 bit and 8 bit integer values. If you need raw values, you can add a raw option to the lookup:

```
lease = omapi.lookup_by_lease(mac="24:79:2a:0a:13:c0", raw=True)
for k, v in res.items():
	print("%s: %s" % (k, v))
```

Output:

```
b'state': b'\x00\x00\x00\x02'
b'ip-address': b'\xc0\xa8\n\xa7'
...
```

The following lookup functions are implemented, allowing directly querying the different types:

  * lookup_ip_host(mac) - lookups up a host object (static defined host) by mac
  * lookup_ip(mac) - lookups a lease object by mac and returns the ip
  * lookup_host(name) - lookups a host object by name and returns the ip, mac and hostname
  * lookup_host_host(mac) - lookups a host object by mac and returns the ip, mac and name
  * lookup_hostname(ip) - lookups a lease object by ip and returns the client-hostname
  
These special functions use:

  * lookup_by_host - generic lookup function for host objects 
  * lookup_by_lease - generic lookup function for lease objects
  
which provide full access to complete lease data. 

## Add and delete host objects

For adding and deleting host objects (static DHCP leases), there are multiple functions:

  * add_host(ip, mac)
  * add_host_supersede_name(ip, mac, name)
  * add_host_without_ip(mac)
  * add_host_supersede(ip, mac, name, hostname=None, router=None, domain=None)
  * add_group(groupname, statements)
  * add_host_with_group(ip, mac, groupname))

See http://jpmens.net/2011/07/20/dynamically-add-static-leases-to-dhcpd/ for original idea (which is now merged) and detailed explanation.

# Custom Integration

Assuming there already is a connection named `o` (i.e. a `Omapi` instance, see [Example]).
To craft your own communication with the server you need to create an `OmapiMessage`, send it, receive a response and evaluate that response being an `OmapiMessage` as well. So here we go and create our first message.
```
m1 = OmapiMessage.open("host")
```
We are using a named constructor (`OmapiMessage.open`). It fills in the opcode (as `OMAPI_OP_OPEN`), generates a random transaction id, and uses the parameter for the type field. This is the thing you want almost all the time. In this case we are going to open a host object, but we did not specify which host to open. For example we can select a host by its name.
```
m1.update_object(dict(name="foo"))
```
The next step is to interact with the DHCP server. The easiest way to do so is using the `query_server` method. It takes an `OmapiMessage`and returns another.
```
r1 = o.query_server(m1)
```
The returned `OmapiMessage` contains the parsed response from the server. Since opening can fail, we need to check the `opcode` attribute. In case of success its value is `OMAPI_OP_UPDATE`. As with files on unix we now have a descriptor called `r1.handle`. So now we are to modify some attribute about this host. Say we want to set its group. To do so we construct a new message and reference the opened host object via its handle.
```
m2 = OmapiMessage.update(r1.handle)
```
Again `OmapiMessage.update` is a named constructor. It fills in the opcode (as `OMAPI_OP_UPDATE`), generates a random transaction id and fills in the handle. So now we need to add the actual modification to the message and send the message to the server.
```
m2.update_object(dict(group="bar"))
r2 = o.query_server(m2)
```
We receive a new message and need to check the returned `opcode` which should be `OMAPI_OP_UPDATE` again. Now we have a complete sequence.

As can be seen, the OMAPI protocol permits flexible interaction and it would be unreasonable to include every possibility as library functions. Instead you are encouraged to subclass the `Omapi` class and define your own methods. If they prove useful in multiple locations, please submit them to the issue tracker.
