send_login_mail

This script is used for sending an email with geolocalization.
If launched in combo when a specific user login via ssh on the server, it is really helpful to track the login position by the user.

Required packages

If you use your own server as SMTP server to send emails, you need to have the required packages to do so.

Email's sample output

How to setup the script

First of all you need to setup the configuration file login_email_conf.ini with the needed parameters

• API_ACCESS_KEY: the API key used for the geolocalization service (in our case https://ipstack.com/).
  You can get it freely with a previous sign up from https://ipstack.com/signup/free.
• SMTP_HOST: the host used by the SMTP library for sending email (if you are using your own machine to send email, set it as localhost).
• EMAIL_FROM: the "from" parameter for sending email.
• EMAIL_TO: the "to" parameter for sending email.
• EMAIL_SUBJECT: the "subject" parameter for sending email. This will set the fixed subject of the email.
• HTML_TEMPLATE_FILE: path of the template file that actually contain the email's body saved in html format (default: login_email_template.html). This is a template file, and obviously, it has his own templates rules/variables. The file MUST contains only html and css languages and, for being dynamic, needs to respect the templating rules.

How to use

It is possible just to launch it as a normal python script:

./send_login_mail.py

Or

python3 send_login_mail.py

It is also possible run it everytime you connect via ssh with a specific user. To do so you just need to login with the user you are going to connect, edit your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc file and, at the end of the file, add the following command line:

python3 /path/where/is/the/script/send_login_mail.py

Or just run this command:

echo "python3 /path/where/is/the/script/send_login_mail.py" >> ~./profile

Or

echo "python3 /path/where/is/the/script/send_login_mail.py" >> ~./bashrc

Being careful to replace "/path/where/is/the/script/" with the correct path where the script is saved.
