Google App Engine: 403 and 404 error - python

How do I implement using python if I want to manage the 403 and 404 error, for example, to know which URL is most the 403 or 404 error?

There is no need to do this manually on App Engine. Just take a look at the "Errors" section in the dashboard for your app.

Azure active directory SAML SSO configuration issue with Django backend

I am trying to set up SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) with my Django app, but I am getting an error when I try to login to my app.
I go to the app url, Microsoft processes the request (the url displays microsoft.loginonline.com/etc briefly), and then I get redirected to this page:
https://my-app.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/aad/callback
which displays this error:
{"code":400,"message":"IDX10501: Signature validation failed. Unable to match keys: \nkid: '[PII is hidden]', \ntoken: '[PII is hidden]'."}
The reply url is set to:
https://my-app.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/aad/callback
I did the set-up following both the Azure docs and following this documentation: https://django-auth-adfs.readthedocs.io, it's ostensibly working on my localhost, just not on the actual azure app service... I am unsure of what I am doing wrong, and the error message is not very informative for me as I am new to back-end programming and cloud.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
As stated by you, you have configured SAML SSO with Django app in the backend and encountering the said error while logging in. As per the error reported, the ‘PII value is hidden’ due to which the signature keys couldn’t be validated by the AAD. So, you will need to add some strings to your ‘settings.py’ file to notify the Django web app the returned value of token from AAD. Please find the below strings to be added to the respective file: -
Please add the below string to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS section in ‘settings.py’ file.
Microsoft.IdentityModel.Logging.IdentityModelEventSource.ShowPII = true;
After adding the above string to the said file, the app should work and so the SSO too.
Also, please find the below link to a similar thread for your reference: -

Flask errors vs web service errors

I'm going through the RESTful web services chapter of the Flask web development book by Miguel Grinberg and he mentions that errors can be generated by Flask on its own or explicitly by the web service.
For errors generated by Flask, he uses a error handler like the following:
#main.app_errorhandler(404)
def page_not_found(e):
if request.accept mimetypes.accept_json and \
not request.accept_mimetypes.accept_html:
response = jsonify({'error': 'not found'})
response.status_code = 404
return response
return render_template('404.html'), 404
While errors generated by the web service, have no error handler:
def forbidden(message):
response = jsonify({'error': 'forbidden', 'message': message})
response.status_code = 403
return response
I don't really understand the difference between a flask generated error vs a web service generated error.
The first is an example of how to make a custom handler for an error that Flask will raise. For example, it will raise a 404 error with a default "not found" message if it doesn't recognize the path. The custom handler allows you to still return the 404 error, but with your own, nicer looking response instead.
The second is an example of how to change the code for your response, without handling a previously raised error. In this example, you would probably return forbidden() from another view if the user doesn't have permission. The response would have a 403 code, which your frontend would know how to handle.

Custom Error Page for Over Quota Error in webapp2

To fetch a 500 error I used webapp2 to show a custom error page : http://webapp-improved.appspot.com/guide/exceptions.html#exceptions-in-the-wsgi-app.
This page is always shown when an error occurs. Even when there is an over_quota error and app.yaml is correctly configured.
How can i show a custom page for Quota_over Error ?
In app.yaml:-
error_handlers:
- error_code: over_quota
file: over_quota.html
The code for quota over in App Engine is 503. So, you can create a handler that handles specifically the 503 error code.

Flask giving an internal server error instead of rendering 404

In my Flask app, I set up a 404 handler like this:
#app.errorhandler(404)
def page_not_found(e):
return render_template('404.html'), 404
However, when a user goes to an unrecognized URL, the system gives an internal server error instead of rendering my 404 template. Am I missing something?
Internal Server Error is HTTP error 500 rather than 404 and you haven't added error handler for it. This occurs when the server is unable to fulfill the client request properly. To add a gracious message when such error occurred, you can add a errorhandler like 404.
#app.errorhandler(500)
def exception_handler(e):
return render_template('500.html'), 500
There is likely an issue while rendering the 404 template which then triggers an internal server error.
I suggest checking the logs for your app.
This will also occur if you have debug set to true. Try setting debug to false and see if your custom 404 shows up then.
