What is a catheter used for ?
What Is a Catheter Used For and Why?
A catheter is used for draining a person's bladder and is ordered by a physician for many different medical purposes. So when you ask what is a catheter used for? be prepared for a log answer Some reasons why a catheter may be used include when a person is unable to urinate on their own or has little control over urination, patients that are hospitalized for certain surgeries, patients that are in a coma, patients that are sedated for long periods of time, or patients that have urinary health issues. A person may also need to use a catheter if they have acute or chronic urinary retention, are required to make little movements due to a surgery or injury or if the input and output of urine needs to be measured, such as in the case of a patient who has kidney disease. Patients that have been diagnosed with a spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis or dementia often require the use of a catheter. As you can see when asking what is a catheter used for ? the answer can be very broad.
How Does A Catheter Work?
By inserting a catheter, which is a small rubber or plastic tube, into the bladder, medical professionals are able to help a patient empty urine from their bladder. By inserting a catheter, there is no need to use muscles to empty the bladder. The catheter allows urine to continuously leave the bladder and flow down a tube that is connected to the catheter and empty into a urine collection bag. Catheters come in several different types and sizes and can be used by males and females.
Using a catheter is a very easy and quick way of alleviating urine from the bladder. It may feel uncomfortable, but should not be painful. However, it is possible for a patient to experience pain during the insertion and removal of the catheter, but a topical anesthetic may be applied. The insertion of a catheter should always be a sterile procedure in order to lower the risk of infection. There are several types of catheters such as an indwelling catheter, a condom catheter, and an intermittent catheter.
An indwelling catheter is used for patients who require long term use of a catheter, but can also be used for short periods of time. An indwelling catheter remains inserted into the bladder and is usually changed once a month. The catheter is connected to a tube that is connected to a urine collection bag that is emptied as needed by opening an valve to drain out the urine. This type of catheter can be inserted through the urethra or can be used as a suprapubic catheter, meaning it is inserted into a small hole in the lower abdomen. (Surgery is required for the suprapubic catheter.) A balloon is inflated in order to prevent the catheter from coming out of the body. The catheter can be removed by simply deflating the balloon.
A condom catheter works in the sense that it is like a condom and is placed over the tip of the penis and is not inserted. It is then connected to a tube that is connected to a urine collection bag. This is the least invasive option when it comes to catheters and has lower risk of infections. There is no surgery required and no need to insert a catheter into the body.
An intermittent catheter is generally used by patients who only need to use a catheter on a few occasions or for short term use. When the bladder is in need of being emptied, the patient or medical professional will insert the catheter under sterile procedures and drain urine from the bladder. When the bladder is empty, the catheter can be removed. This type of catheter can also be used by patients who require long term catheterization and prefer this method over an indwelling catheter.
There are several types of urine collection bags. There is a large bag, called a "down drain" that can be used overnight for the collection of urine. This bag generally holds 2000cc or 4000cc of urine and has a hook that allows it to be hooked under the patient's bed. Another type of urine collection bag is the "leg bag". This bag is smaller and holds 500cc or 1000cc. The leg bag can be worn discreetly under pants and attaches to the leg with elastic straps. This bag is usually worn around the calf and is connected to a tube that is connected to the indwelling catheter. The leg bag can be emptied by opening the valve and draining the urine into a toilet. The third type of urine collection bag is the "stomach bag". This bag can be worn around the stomach and under clothes, so it is very discreet. Just like the leg bag, it can be emptied as needed by opening the valve and draining the urine into a toilet.
Catheters are very helpful to patients in many different situations and are used for draining urine from the bladder when a patient is not able to do so on their own or when a medical professional feels it is necessary.

It's been a busy and fun-filled summer for residents at Bishopsmead Lodge Care Home in Bishopsworth as they teamed up with youth-led charity Young Bristol for a series of intergenerational day trips and meet-ups, as part of a 'Making Pals' project led by Bristol-based charity Alive.
Making Pals is a community engagement project that encourages care homes to find new ways to connect their residents with people and spaces outside of the home. Through the initiative Bishopsmead Lodge residents have struck up warm friendships with young people from Hartcliffe Youth Club during day trips to Weston-super-Mare and Bristol Zoo. More activities are planned over the coming months and since their outings Young Bristol members have been visiting residents regularly.
Francaise Miles, Home Manager at Bishopsmead Lodge Care Home in Bishopsworth, Bristol, said:
"It's hard to over-estimate the benefit of this project to our residents. The initial session was supposed to be an ice-breaker but in truth very little intervention was required because our residents and the young people hit it off so well from the word go.
"By the time they set off for Weston-super-Mare there were already some firm friendships in the group – in which ages ranged from 9 to 103!
"We've been incredibly impressed by Alive and Young Bristol's thoughtful approach to working with older people. The sessions are fun and creative and go beyond entertainment to really engage our residents - it's been a privilege to work with them this summer."
Faye Joines, Creative Programmer at Young Bristol said:
"It's been wonderful to see the bonds developing between our young people and their older neighbours. We weren't sure how the young people would react spending time in a residential care home but they were very relaxed and they enjoyed chatting with their new friends and sharing stories.
"This type of intergenerational experience is a brilliant way of encouraging empathy and understanding between young and old and really helps to build strong ties across the local community. We're delighted to have had the opportunity to partner with Alive for this project."
Emma Dyer, Project Manager at Making Pals said:
"The genuine friendship that have developed between Bishopsmead Lodge and Young Bristol through our Making Pals project shows the fun people of all ages can have together and why it's so important that we challenge perceptions of care home life and break down barriers between generations.
"We'd like to thank Bishopsmead Lodge and Young Bristol for their enthusiastic participation to date, and look forward to more successful get-togethers over the coming months. This partnership has been a pilot and due to its success we are now starting on the same journey with two more care homes."

Sidmouth duo through to Section Three final of the ladies' County Over-55 pairs competition
PUBLISHED: 11:05 09 August 2018 | UPDATED: 11:05 09 August 2018
A Sidmouth pair were involved in the semi-final of the Devon County Over-50 pairs, writes Carol Smith.
Sandra Wheeler and Valerie Newnham were in action at Sidmouth against Madeira duo Jan Roberts and Jackie Howle.
It proved to be an enthralling contest with the Sidmouth pair ahead for most of the time. Then, as often happens, the opposition caught up and the quartet went into the final end locked at 19-all – no pressure then!
Sandra held shot, but then Jan put two woods very close to the jack. Val tried to move them, but missed. Jackie then moved the jack slightly to give Madeira four shots.
With her last wood Valerie, under great pressure, had a brilliant shot that took the jack away and stayed with it, giving Sidmouth the shot they needed to win.However, Jackie still had one wood left, so fingers crossed everyone; unfortunately for them, and lucky for us, she missed!
Our pair now proceed to play our section final against Carol Binmore and Sue Evans of Honiton at Honiton. Watch this space as the journey continues…

In this, my first independent article outside of academia, I serve to iron out a few niggles experienced by the black youths of South Africa; specifically in relation to the crisis in the education sector. A reality which, I strongly believe, has plagued many colonised youth for generations before our time. In our lives, the role of education is vastly exaggerated by either parents or educators up to the level of presidential hopefuls and politicians as the only saving grace and means to uproot us from our circumstance of poverty which now seems to be our burden to correct. In the words of the first Post- Apartheid [Apartheid] South African president Rolihlahla Mandela '' Education is the most powerful tool with which to change our world ''. Now such utterances from the man viewed as the Jesus figure of blacks, by those who gained forgiveness for things we ourselves aren't clear of, are probably to be taken into serious account right?
Now in reality, for we the supposed born free members of our society, the significance of education becomes worthless when in recent years waves of protest action by young unemployable graduates made itself present in our already troubled nation. The question of whether or not this Western delicacy is of any value to us becomes a nightmare when we face violence and constant victimisation at the hands of our government and institutions of higher learning for our participation in the genuine struggle for Free Decolonised education. It becomes an increasingly confusing and frustrating situation when education is continuously explained to us as the fuel for a thriving economy. It is this major contradiction which then begs to question, why would we have to buy education at such exuberant rates if we ourselves are the commodities?
In 2015, myself and thousands more in the higher education sector took it upon ourselves to further the selfless struggle for free education; freedom from the capitalist shackles of being commodified. For the sternness of our united call, we continue to face repression and outright exclusion from university spaces. We have thus become the outlaws of the very thing that ought to ''civilise'' us. Our understanding is that education is and will forever be the colonial project which serves to categorise and monopolise our mode of thinking and understanding about the world. It remains a senseless means to an end, a means to continue driving the class disparities between an already violated and traumatised people. Frankly, our heartfelt participation in its culture and order offers us up as fresh meat to the overreaching tastes of capitalism and the benefactors of monopolies.
Another very arrogant and characteristically colonial aftermath of education in its ''formal'' sense is its historic quest to nullify indigenous forms of knowledge by means of exotification and the false premise that everything that was ever realistically educational was or ought to be written. A very common understanding of something that holds societal benefit and basic human wellbeing is that it is something freely and open to be disseminated among all peoples regardless of their proximity to monetary means to acquire it. Otherwise it is a bourgeois luxury only 11% of our nation's citizens can afford and one for which many of us willing to chain ourselves to crippling debt.
Education, as it is, is dubious; even in pedagogical aspects. The downright fixation with every movement and whim of the west remains the biggest limitation in the legitimisation of any other school of thought worldwide. Formal education, thus, is the hypnosis that binds our collective consciousness to the dominance of imperialism. An education that, simply put, reduces an entire people to intellectual and monetary captivity.

VATICAN (SE): Pope Francis is donating a crucifix that was given to him by the president of Cuba, Raul Castro, during the recent papal visit to the Caribbean nation to the parish church of Lampedusa, an island haven for refugees in the Mediterranean.
Vatican Radio reported on November 12 that the crucifix measures over three metres high and is crafted from wooden oars tied with ropes to symbolise the reality of migrants who have crossed the sea in flimsy boats.
Lampedusa is off the coast of Sicily and receives the majority of migrants and refugees crossing the Mediterranean from Libya to Italy. The tiny island was also the first place in Italy that Pope Francis chose to visit after his election.
Pope Francis' decision was announced by Francesco Cardinal Montenegro, the archbishop of Agrigento, whose archdiocese includes Lampedusa. He made the announcement in the presence of the pope at the National Ecclesial Congress in Florence on November 10.
The parish priest of Lampedusa, Father Mimmo Zambito, described the images on the crucifix as symbolising the mercy and humanity of Jesus Christ, who triumphs over every conflict, knocking down walls and crossing borders.
The crucifix will be displayed in the Church of the Holy Cross in Agrigento for the local inauguration of the Jubilee Year of Mercy on December 11, before being taken on a pilgrimage across the archdiocese of Agrigento and settling at its final residence in the parish church of Lampedusa.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was detained by the Uttar Pradesh police while he was on his way to Hathras, along with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, to meet the kin of the 20-year-old Dalit woman who was allegedly gang-raped and murdered. The gangrape and killing of another Dalit woman in Uttar Pradesh has sparked outrage across the country with several politicians and activists demanding justice and protesters rallying on the streets.

Rahul and Priyanka proceeded on foot towards Hathras to meet the family of the victim after their convoy was stopped in Greater Noida by the UP Police. The convoy was stopped near Pari Chowk, prompting party workers and senior leaders to proceed on foot to Hathras, which is 150 km away from here.

Talking to reporters while walking on the Yamuna Expressway, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath would have to take the responsibility for the alleged gangrape of a 19-year-old Dalit woman in the district and strict action should be taken against the perpetrators of the crime.
"Since our cars have been stopped, we will walk down to Hathras as we want to meet the victim's family. We want to express our condolences to the family," Priyanka said.
In Hathras, the district magistrate has imposed prohibitory orders under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and ordered sealing of the district borders to maintain peace.
The Congress leaders, earlier this morning, lambasted the Bharatiya Janata Party after the 22-year-old died after allegedly being raped by two men in Uttar Pradesh's Balrampur district.
The Dalit woman succumbed to critical injuries on the same day as the teen from Hathras in the state who breathed her last in a Delhi hospital two weeks after she was gangraped. The two men accused of assaulting the woman from Balrampur have been arrested, police said amid outrage over the death of the 19-year-old Dalit woman from Hathras.
The Balrampur victim's mother Wednesday night told reporters that the rapists broke her daughter's legs and back, a charge denied by the police.
"My daughter had gone to take admission in a college on Tuesday. On her way back, three-four persons abducted her, took her to their room, gave her an injection and raped her. They later sent her back on an e-rickshaw, which dumped her outside our house. They broke her legs and back. She could not stand or talk," the woman said.
Meanwhile, the National Commission for Women on Thursday sought an explanation from the Uttar Pradesh Police on the urgency to cremate the body of the Hathras gangrape victim in the middle of the night in the absence of her family members.
The Dalit woman was allegedly raped at a village in Hathras by four men on September 14, and she breathed her last on Tuesday at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital.
Her body was cremated in the early hours of Wednesday, with her family alleging that the local police forced them to conduct the last rites in the dead of the night.
The 'jungle raj' that has spread in Uttar Pradesh has no limits and the time for accountability is now, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, adding that a gruesome incident like Hathras had taken place in Balrampur too. Rahul Gandhi was severe in his attack on the central government.

Alleging that 'atrocities' on women and the government's brazenness is continuing, Rahul said, "Did not give respect when alive and also snatched the dignity in death." His tweet in Hindi referenced the Hathras gangrape victim's family being allegedly denied the right to properly perform her last rites.
"BJP's slogan is not 'save girl child', it is 'hide facts, save power," he added, using the hashtag 'Balrampurhorror'. Gandhi was referring to the Centre's scheme 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao'.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress general secretary in-charge of UP, said a gruesome incident like Hathras has taken place in Balrampur too.

The woman was raped and her legs and back broken, she said. "In Azamgarh, Baghpat, Bulandshahr, girls were brutalised," the Congress general secretary said in a tweet in Hindi.
"The jungle raj spread in UP has no limits. Law and order is not run by marketing and speeches. This is time for accountability of the Uttar Pradesh chief minister. The public wants accountability," Priyanka Gandhi added.
Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, who is accompanying the two senior leaders, also lashed out at the Yogi Adityanath government over the Balrampur incident.

"Is it a government of the Constitution or of criminals," Surjewala said and asked why the UP CM doesn't resign.
Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav also trained his guns on the BJP government after the district administration ordered to seal the borders of Hathras district.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said that Hathras-like incidents will not be tolerated in the state and those indulging in crime against women would be dealt with severely.
"When incidents like the one happened in UP occur, we usually discuss it for a while and then forget. But in Maharashtra, such incidents will not be allowed to happen," he said.

SEOUL -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will announce soon whether he will continue negotiations with the U.S., and may end a freeze on missile launches, a senior North Korean official said Friday, citing what she called hostility and inflexibility on Washington's part.
In a rare news conference open to foreign reporters and diplomats, Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui laid the blame for the lack of results at last month's summit in Hanoi at the feet of the U.S.
"We have no intention to yield to the U.S. demands in any form, nor are we willing to engage in negotiations of this kind," she was reported as saying by Russian news agency Tass.
"I want to make it clear that the gangster-like stand of the U.S. will eventually put the situation in danger," she said, according to the Associated Press.
Her comments contrasted sharply with the official line on the summit in North Korean media, which trumpeted it as a success. The decision to delve now into the details of the meeting suggests Pyongyang sees a need to paint a different picture for foreign audiences. The news conference lasted nearly an hour, with journalists permitted no questions, according to AP.
Compared with her previous news conference in Hanoi directly after the meeting between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump, Choe was more explicitly negative about the prospects for continuing talks with the U.S.
She also suggested that North Korea could resume missile and "satellite" launches, ending a self-imposed halt that lasted more than a year.
"Whether to maintain this moratorium or not is the decision of our chairman of the state affairs commission," she said, referring to Kim, adding that "he will make his decision in a short period of time."
Pyongyang has conducted no launches since the intercontinental ballistic missile test of November 2017. But the U.S. and South Korean governments have seen signs of missile production near Pyongyang and shipments of materials to the Tongchang-ri launch site. North Korea could change its tactics and go back to escalating tensions to put pressure on Washington.
Choe said that thousands of North Koreans, including members of the military and officials in the munitions industry, had sent petitions urging Kim not to give up his nuclear program, apparently to suggest that domestic opposition made it difficult to compromise.
And yet, she stressed, Kim went to Hanoi anyway to build trust.
"What is clear is that the U.S. has thrown away a golden opportunity," she said.
Choe noted that the relationship between Kim and Trump remains positive, saying that "the chemistry is mysteriously wonderful."
The Pyongyang delegation put forward a realistic proposal, and Trump said the U.S. could show some flexibility to reach an agreement, she said.
Choe said the document on which the U.S. sought to reach a deal included a provision to remove sanctions under the condition that they would be reimposed if Pyongyang updated its nuclear arsenal, an offer that the North Korean side was prepared to accept.
But U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton "created the atmosphere of hostility and mistrust and, therefore, obstructed the constructive effort for negotiations between the supreme leaders of North Korea and the United States," she said.
Bolton called this characterization "inaccurate" and said he had spoken with his South Korean counterpart about the accusations.
Pompeo expressed hope that talks would continue and emphasized the positive results so far, including the missile launch moratorium. But he stressed that United Nations sanctions require "the complete denuclearization of North Korea," including the elimination of its entire weapons of mass destruction program.
Speaking with reporters Friday, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga avoided commenting directly about the possible breakdown of negotiations. Japan "works constantly to gather and analyze information about all developments involving North Korea," he said.

There are a lot of steps to healing
Whether you were hurt from abuse, bullying, or whatever else the case may be. Healing takes time, and it's a difficult task to take on.
The first step is admitting you were hurt
This was the hardest step for me, I didn't recognize that what others were doing to me was wrong. But this is the most important step, since you can't begin to heal until you acknowledge it.
Once you acknowledge the hurt and the pain you are in, you can address it, and you can begin to heal - no matter where that hurt and pain is coming from.
The second step is rediscovering yourself
This isn't always a necessary step, but it was for me. I had to rediscover who I was beyond what I was told to be, and beyond the victim status that I felt I could never escape.
Once I separated myself from the cage I was in, I had to reinvent myself. I couldn't turn back time, but I could choose not to let myself remain a prisoner to what others wanted from me.
The third step is mainly emotional
For me this meant a lot of anger, I'm still in the third step to be honest. The third step is dealing with the anger, the depression, and any other emotions you are experiencing.
These can be directed at others or towards yourself. This is the time you're likely to ask yourself "Why me?" or "How could they/he/she/I do this to me?" Questions like this feed your anger.
They feed your emotions. But you need to face these emotions in order to heal. So get mad, cry, throw pillows across your room and hit something. Get it out, and then hopefully let it go.
Step four: moving on
This is a step I'm not sure I'll ever get to, but eventually I will have to let go of the anger and the rage to get on with my life. Moving on from something that hurt you is the hardest part.
You might feel like moving on means excusing those who hurt you, or giving them a free pass. The hardest part of this step is realizing that moving on isn't for them, it's for you.
A part of moving on might be forgiving those that hurt you. What you have to understand is that you do not have to forgive anyone if you don't want to. It is all your choice.
Another part of moving on that's hard is the fact that you might never truly move on. Those feeling of hurt and the memories of what happened will always be there, nothing can take that away.
But moving on is more about freeing yourself. It's about saying "Yes I was hurt, but I can move past that. That hurt does not control me or my life."
Step 5 is seeking help
This step can fall between steps 1and 4, can come later, or not at all. Sharing your story is your choice, just as it's your choice who to share it with. But sometimes we need help to heal.
It's up to you as a person who was hurt to seek help when you need it, be that from friends, a therapist, or someone else you feel you can trust. It helps sometimes to know people care about us.
These people can offer a helping hand, they can listen and offer advice, or they can just be there to hold you when you break down. If you feel you need help, get it. There is no shame in it.
There are a lot of steps to healing
But if you work at it, eventually you will be okay.
Thanks for stopping by!

Another Disruption from Dubai? This Time, It's Healthcare: DrFive.com.
DrFive.com, a regional healthcare portal hosting over 15,000 profiles of doctors and medical institutions in Dubai, completed its 2nd phase revamp to introduce an interactive doctor search engine enabling easier search and comparison of medical practitioners in the region.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 04, 2017 --(
– a Dubai-based, independent healthcare ratings website – has re-launched its website after its third year of developments. The culmination of the relaunch is the introduction of the Middle East region's first interactive, searchable map hosting over 13,000 doctors, and 2,000 clinics in Dubai, making the website the biggest network of doctors and clinics in Dubai. They claim to have combined all available public data source on the internet including Dubai Health Authority (DHA), Dubai Health Authority (DHCC), and Google to build "the ultimate regional medical database hosting literally all medical doctors allowed to practice in Dubai." According to Aleco El Hayek, the co-founder, "If you can't find them on DrFive, then it is highly likely they are not practicing in Dubai."
Previously, doctors outside of DHCC could be searched through the DHA website. However, to find the location of the doctor on DHA website, you first had to know a specific practitioners name, or skim through an endless list of names under a specific specialty category to come down with a name and check their practicing facility. Still, you had to search the location of the clinic or hospital separately.
DrFive simply redesigned all these steps, and added more features. By plotting doctors on the map according to their practicing location, you can directly find doctors of every specialty within the location of your interest. Moreover, you can compare these doctors within the search area by user ratings, gender and languages. If you want more in-depth information on the doctor, such as credentials and sub-specialty, you can simply click on the doctor's summary profile on the map.
Doctor searching is only one side of their service. More importantly, DrFive is a platform where people can share their personal experiences with their own doctors to help other patients make a more informed choice on doctors and facilities, which can be vital in receiving the best medical care. Their 5-star rating system is very straightforward for users, and trustworthy as they allow only one review per doctor.
Among the many medical startups in the region, DrFive is unique in its breath of coverage (profiling all doctors in Dubai), nifty application of technology (plotting profiles on the map), as well as the scale of overall potential impact to the medical industry (enhanced transparency and quality). DrFive is intent on further developing services on their platform in an effort to empower patients in finding the best available medical care.

Brace yourself: Your investment portfolio is likely about to experience a dip.
It's a pattern that has historically plagued the month of April, CNBC reports. Just don't freak out and make any rash decisions that could jeopardize your retirement nest egg.
Citing data from data analytics firm Kensho, CNBC's Trader Talk blog explains:
"The start of the second quarter usually begins with a flat to slightly down market for the first two weeks. It's a well-known phenomenon …"
For example, since 2000, the Standard & Poor's 500 stock market index has been down by an average of 0.2 percent in the first two weeks of April. Tax Day is a turning point, though, with the S&P up by an average of 1.7 percent in the two weeks after Tax Day.
CNBC notes:
"That's a swing of almost 2 percent in the S&P, on average — significant for a two-week period."
Two possible explanations:
- Investors withdrawing money to pay taxes.
- Corporate earnings reporting season beginning around April 15, with banking and industrial companies usually reporting during the latter half of April.
Avoid stock market panic
Explanations for this pattern are arguably beside the point, however. The key take-away here is to not let every little market fluctuation prompt you to panic. Fluctuation is an inherent part of financial markets, after all.
If you're investing for the long haul and your investments are appropriately diversified, you should have no reason to worry. So set emotions aside.
As we explain in "11 Tips for Sane, Successful Stock Investing," reacting emotionally to stock market ups and downs is a rookie investor mistake. For example, if you pulled out of stocks after the 2008 crash, you may have missed the historic gains from the recent bull market.
This is why Money Talks News founder Stacy Johnson's first rule of investing is to invest only long-term money. By "long-term money," he means money you won't need for a long time — at least five years, if not 10.
He explains further in "Ask Stacy: How Do I Invest in the Stock Market?":
"When it comes to stocks, the longer your investment horizon, the lower the risk. Day trading, holding stocks for very short amounts of time, is exceedingly risky because nobody knows what's going to happen at any given hour or day. Investing over decades carries far less risk because quality companies become more valuable over time and so do their shares."

2.5. The Config File¶
privacyIDEA reads its configuration from different locations:
default configuration from the module
then from the config file
/etc/privacyidea/pi.cfgif it exists and then
from the file specified in the environment variable
export PRIVACYIDEA_CONFIGFILE=/your/config/file
The configuration is overwritten and extended in each step. I.e. values define
that are not redefined in one of the other config files, stay the same.
You can create a new config file (either
/etc/privacyidea/pi.cfg) or any other
file at any location and set the environment variable.
The file should contain the following contents:
# The realm, where users are allowed to login as administrators
SUPERUSER_REALM = ['super', 'administrators']
# Your database
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:////etc/privacyidea/data.sqlite'
# This is used to encrypt the auth_token
SECRET_KEY = 't0p s3cr3t'
# This is used to encrypt the admin passwords
PI_PEPPER = "Never know..."
# This is used to encrypt the token data and token passwords
PI_ENCFILE = '/etc/privacyidea/enckey'
# This is used to sign the audit log
PI_AUDIT_KEY_PRIVATE = '/home/cornelius/src/privacyidea/private.pem'
PI_AUDIT_KEY_PUBLIC = '/home/cornelius/src/privacyidea/public.pem'
# PI_AUDIT_MODULE = <python audit module>
# PI_AUDIT_SQL_URI = <special audit log DB uri>
# PI_INIT_CHECK_HOOK = 'your.module.function'
# PI_CSS = '/location/of/theme.css'
# PI_UI_DEACTIVATED = True
The config file is parsed as python code, so you can use variables to set the path and you need to take care for indentations.
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI defines the location of your database.
You may want to use the MySQL database or Maria DB. There are two possible
drivers, to connect to this database. Please read MySQL database connect string.
SUPERUSER_REALM is a list of realms, in which the users get the role
of an administrator.
PI_INIT_CHECK_HOOK is a function in an external module, that will be
called as decorator to
token/init and
token/assign. This function
takes the
request and
action (either "init" or "assing") as an
arguments and can modify the request or raise an exception to avoid the
request being handled.
There are three config entries, that can be used to define the logging. These
PI_LOGCONFIG. These are described in
Debugging and Logging.
You can use
PI_CSS to define the location of another cascading style
sheet to customize the look and feel. Read more at Themes.
If you ever need passwords being logged in the log file, you may
PI_LOGLEVEL = 9, which is a lower log level than
Use this setting with caution and always delete the logfiles!
privacyIDEA digitally signs the responses. You can disable this using the
PI_NO_RESPONSE_SIGN. Set this to True to suppress the
response signature.
You can set
PI_UI_DEACTIVATED = True to deactivate the privacyIDEA UI.
This can be interesting if you are only using the command line client or your
own UI and you do not want to present the UI to the user or the outside world.
The API calls are all still accessible, i.e. privacyIDEA is technically fully functional.
The parameter
PI_TRANSLATION_WARNING can be used to provide a prefix, that is
set in front of every string in the UI, that is not translated to the language your browser
is using.
2.5.1. Engine Registry Class¶
PI_ENGINE_REGISTRY_CLASS option controls the pooling of database connections
opened by SQL resolvers and the SQL audit module. If it is set to
SQL connections are not pooled at all and new connections are opened for every request.
If it is set to
"shared", connections are pooled on a per-process basis, i.e.
every wsgi process manages one connection pool for each SQL resolver and the SQL audit module.
Every request then checks out connections from this shared pool, which reduces
the overall number of open SQL connections. If the option is left unspecified,
its value defaults to
2.5.2. Audit parameters¶
PI_AUDIT_MODULE lets you specify an alternative auditing module. The
default which is shipped with privacyIDEA is
privacyidea.lib.auditmodules.sqlaudit. There is no need to change this,
unless you know exactly what you are doing.
You can change the servername of the privacyIDEA node, which will be logged
to the audit log using the variable
You can run the database for the audit module on another database or even
server. For this you can specify the database URI via
PI_AUDIT_TRUNCATE = True lets you truncate audit entries, that to the length
of the database fields.
In certain cases when you experiencing problems you may use the parameters
PI_AUDIT_POOL_SIZE and
PI_AUDIT_POOL_RECYCLE. However, they are only
effective if you also set
PI_ENGINE_REGISTRY_CLASS to
If you by any reason want to avoid signing audit entries you can
PI_AUDIT_NO_SIGN = True. If
PI_AUDIT_NO_SIGN is set to
audit entries will not be signed and also the signature of audit entries will not be
verified. Audit entries will appears with signature fail.
2.5.3. Monitoring parameters¶
PI_MONITORING_MODULE lets you specify an alternative statistics monitoring module.
The monitoring module takes care of writing values with timestamps to a store.
This is used e.g. by the EventCounter and SimpleStats.
The first available monitoring module is
It accepts the following additional parameters:
PI_MONITORING_SQL_URI can hold an alternative SQL connect string. If not specified the
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI is used.
PI_MONITORING_POOL_SIZE (default 20) and
PI_MONITORING_POOL_RECYCLE (default 600) let
you configure pooling. It uses the settings from the above mentioned
A SQL database is probably not the best database to store time series. Other monitoring modules will follow.
2.5.4. privacyIDEA Nodes¶
privacyIDEA can run in a redundant setup. For statistics and monitoring purposes you can give these different nodes, dedicated names.
PI_NODE is a string with the name of this very node.
PI_NODES is a list of
all available nodes in the cluster.
PI_NODE is not set, then
PI_AUDIT_SERVERNAME is used as node name.
If this is also not set, the node name is returned as "localnode".
2.5.5. Trusted JWTs¶
Other applications can use the API without the need
to call the
/auth endpoint. This can be achieved by
trusting private RSA keys to sign JWTs. You can define a list
of corresponding public keys that are trusted for certain
users and roles using the parameter
PI_TRUSTED_JWT = [{"public_key": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEF...",
"algorithm": "RS256",
"role": "user",
"realm": "realm1",
"username": "userA",
"resolver": "resolverX"}]
This entry means, that the private key, that corresponds to the given public key can sign a JWT, that can impersonate as the userA in resolver resolverX in realmA.
username can be a regular expression like ".*".
This way you could allow a private signing key to impersonate every
user in a realm. (Starting with version 3.3)
A JWT can be created like this:
auth_token = jwt.encode(payload={"role": "user",
"username": "userA",
"realm": "realm1",
"resolver": "resolverX"},
The user and the realm do not necessarily need to exist in any
But there probably must be certain policies defined for this user.
If you are using an administrative user, the realm for this administrative
must be defined in
pi.cfg in the list
2.5.6. 3rd party token types¶
You can add 3rd party token types to privacyIDEA. Read more about this at New token classes.
To make the new token type available in privacyIDEA,
you need to specify a list of your 3rd party token class modules
pi.cfg using the parameter
PI_TOKEN_MODULES = [ "myproject.cooltoken", "myproject.lametoken" ]

Featured image: Winston Place's wrap-around porch has been looking over Valley Head for almost two centuries (Photo by Tyler Pruett)
By Tyler Pruett, Managing Editor
VALLEY HEAD, Ala. — For almost 200 years, The Winston Place has been seen by many as the centerpiece structure of the Valley Head community. It's rich history is intertwined with town itself. When the construction began in 1831, it was likely one of the only buildings in the immediate area. Even over a century later, the tall white columns and wrap-around porches stand out.
Winston Place and the surrounding property is currently owned by Jim and Leslie Bunch. The property has been owned by Leslie's family since 1944. The couple has since turned the historic home into a one-of-a-kind bed & breakfast.
The home is a picture perfect example of what we think of "Old South." It has seen every bit of history that's passed through Dekalb County since its settlement in the early 1800's. The first resident, William Overton Winston, was instrumental in the growth of Valley Head, Dekalb County, and even our state.
Winston's family moved from England in the late 17th century to Virginia. His family was of noble background, and had many notable figures in his family tree. Winston's great aunt Lucy was the grandmother of Dolly Madison, while another great aunt, Sarah, was mother to Patrick Henry. You could easily say that the Winston family helped found America.
Much like his ancestors, William O. Winston moved his family to what is now known as Valley Head in 1836. This was early in the history of our state, and likely made him one of the first settlers. With a nearby spring-fed stream and good pasture land, the spot would be the natural choice of any settler. During the construction of the house, no lumber was available for 50 miles, and had to brought in by wagon.
Winston was an attorney by trade, and would often travel as far as Charleston, South Carolina for business. His work travel was so extensive that when the 3,000 acre farm was deeded from President Franklin Pierce, most of the control was given to Mrs. Winston since her husband was required to travel frequently.
The family watched the area's most significant historical events happen from their porch. Not long after moving into the home, 14,000 Cherokee Indians would pass by on a forced march west, which would become known as the "Trail of Tears."
Over twenty years later, the Civil War would come to Valley Head when 30,000 Union soldiers occupied Valley Head for three weeks. The home was used by the commanding general as a headquarters until the troops moved to Chattanooga. Two of Winston's sons, George and William Jr., were killed fighting for the Confederacy, and are buried on the grounds. The elder Winston would also serve in the short-lived Confederate government.
While the original family called Winston Place home, the best room was reserved for visitors passing through. Jim and Leslie continue this tradition of hospitality to this day. Travelers can enjoy the view of the town and the valley from its high, wrap-around porch. Looking to the northeast offers a picturesque view of the surrounding pastures and Lookout Mountain.
The interior is decorated much like one would imagine the Winston family left it, with the addition of momento's of the people that have called Winston Place home, including the current residents. Jim, who played football at the University of Alabama under the legendary coach Bear Bryant, has added memorabilia from his own storied past. The couple's son also graduated from West Point and is currently an officer in the U.S. Army; carrying on the previous family's military heritage.
"It's been an adventure running a Bed and Breakfast," said Leslie, "It's a wonderful historic home and original structures are still standing. We're happy to be a part of this historical home."
"We've had a lot of interesting folks stop in," Jim added, "We've had a New York Times writer stay with us, actors, and many other prominent people."
Winston Place is also a popular wedding venue, with many couples taking their vows in the large yard with the rolling hills and Lookout Mountain as the backdrop.
Travelers who decide to stay the night at Winston Place are in for a unique lodging experience. No hotel can compare to staying at a place with such historical significance. The home and the family who built it were not only instrumental in settling the area, but contributed greatly to the growth of Alabama as a whole.

Enchilada zucchini boats stuffed with lentils, corn, and spinach and topped with melty lactose-free cheese. Serve them with your favorite hot sauce and a side of chips and salsa for a guilt-free fiesta!
I created this recipe for my client, GO VEGGIE! As always, thank you for supporting the brands that keep me inspired in the kitchen.
I'm always looking for ways to lighten up my favorite Mexican food recipes, and I think I hit the jackpot with these enchilada stuffed zucchini boats. They're filled with traditional flavors, but swapping the tortillas in favor of zucchini cuts the calories and adds plenty of filling fiber.
Instead of using chicken or beef, I filled these zucchini boats with protein-packed lentils cooked with red onion, corn, spinach, and enchilada sauce (you can use your favorite store-bought sauce or make your own homemade enchilada sauce!) Then I baked them under a blanket of melty GO VEGGIE! lactose free mozzarella shreds, which has 65% more calcium than ordinary cheese and no cholesterol.
(If you have leftover filling, it makes also makes a great topping for vegetarian nachos. Just spoon it on top of baked tortilla chips, top with GO VEGGIE mozzarella or cheddar, and bake until the cheese melts.)
Tips for making stuffed zucchini boats
- You can use any small spoon to hollow out the zucchini but if you have one, a grapefruit spoon or small melon baller is practically made for the job! Both will give you more control, so you won't accidentally dig straight through the bottom of your boat.
- Some zucchini boat recipes call for boiling the zucchini before stuffing them, but I find that it isn't necessary and just creates another dirty pot. 30-40 minutes in the oven will ensure that they're fully cooked.
- Be sure to save a little enchilada sauce for the bottom of your pan – it will keep the zucchini from sticking.
- Rather than waiting until the very end to add the cheese, add tons of GO VEGGIE! mozzarella before baking the zucchini boats, then cover the pan with foil to a create a steamy environment that will help the cheese get melty and gooey without drying out.
