class AppPrincipalIdentityProvider

Maturity: 38

A class representing an identity provider for app principals in SharePoint, inheriting from the Entity base class.

File:
/tf/active/vicechatdev/SPFCsync/venv/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/office365/sharepoint/appprincipal/identity_provider.py
Lines:
4 - 9
Complexity:
simple

Purpose

This class serves as a model for managing identity providers associated with app principals in SharePoint environments. It provides functionality to work with external identity provider configurations and represents the identity provider entity within the SharePoint object model. The class is part of the Office365 SharePoint SDK and is used to interact with SharePoint's app principal authentication and authorization mechanisms.

Source Code

class AppPrincipalIdentityProvider(Entity):
    """Represents an identity provider for app principals."""

    @staticmethod
    def external(context):
        pass

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases Entity -

Parameter Details

__init__: Inherits constructor from Entity base class. The Entity base class typically accepts context and properties parameters for SharePoint entity initialization.

Return Value

Instantiation returns an AppPrincipalIdentityProvider object that represents a SharePoint identity provider entity. The external() static method currently has no implementation (pass statement) and returns None.

Class Interface

Methods

external(context) -> None static

Purpose: Static method intended to handle external identity provider operations. Currently not implemented.

Parameters:

  • context: Expected to be a SharePoint ClientContext or similar context object for SharePoint operations

Returns: None (currently no implementation, only pass statement)

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
entity_type_name str Inherited from Entity base class. Represents the SharePoint entity type name for this identity provider instance

Dependencies

  • office365

Required Imports

from office365.sharepoint.entity import Entity
from office365.sharepoint.principal.app_principal_identity_provider import AppPrincipalIdentityProvider

Usage Example

from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.principal.app_principal_identity_provider import AppPrincipalIdentityProvider

# Assuming you have a ClientContext instance
ctx = ClientContext(site_url).with_credentials(credentials)

# The class is typically instantiated internally by the SharePoint SDK
# when working with app principal identity providers

# Using the static method
AppPrincipalIdentityProvider.external(ctx)

# Note: This class appears to be incomplete in implementation
# and may be used internally by the SDK or extended in subclasses

Best Practices

  • This class inherits from Entity, so it follows the SharePoint entity lifecycle and should be managed through a ClientContext instance
  • The external() static method is currently not implemented (contains only 'pass'), suggesting this class may be under development or requires extension
  • Do not instantiate this class directly unless you understand the Entity base class requirements; typically these objects are created by the SharePoint SDK
  • When extending this class, ensure proper implementation of the external() method to provide meaningful functionality
  • This class is part of the Office365 SharePoint SDK and should be used in conjunction with proper SharePoint authentication and context management
