The Thycotic Secret Server Python SDK

The Thycotic Secret Server Python SDK

The Thycotic Secret Server Python SDK contains classes that interact with Secret Server via the REST API.

Install

python -m pip install python-tss-sdk

Settings

The SDK API requires a username and password, and either a base_url or tenant.

tenant simplifies the configuration when using Secret Server Cloud by assuming the default folder structure and creating the base URL from a template that takes the tenant and an optional top-level domain (TLD) that defaults to com, as parameters.

When base_url is used, the default api_path_uri and token_path_uri may be overridden. The defaults values are /api/v1 and /oauth2/token, respectively.

Use

Simply instantiate SecretServer or SecretServerCloud:

from thycotic.secrets.server import SecretServer

secret_server = SecretServer("https://hostname/SecretServer", "myusername", "mypassword")

Or:

from thycotic.secrets.server import SecretServerCloud

secret_server = SecretServerCloud("mytenant", "myusername", "mypassword")

Then pass an integer id to get_secret() which will return the secret as a JSON encoded string. The SDK API also contains a Secret @dataclass containing a subset of the Secret's attributes and a dictionary of all the fields keyed by the Secret's slug.

from thycotic.secrets.dataclasses import Secret

secret = ServerSecret(**secret_server.get_secret(1))

print(f"username: {secret.fields['username'].value}\npassword: {secret.fields['password'].value}")

Create a Build Environment (optional)

The SDK requires Python 3.6 or higher, and the Requests library.

First, ensure Python 3.6 is in $PATH then run:

git clone https://github.com/thycotic/python-tss-sdk
cd python-tss-sdk
python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Both example.py and the unit tests pull the settings from a JSON file.

with open('server_config.json') as f:
    config = json.load(f)

They also assume that the user associated with the specified username and password can read the secret with ID 1, and that the Secret itself contains username and password fields.

Create server_config.json:

{
    "username": "app_user",
    "password": "Passw0rd!",
    "tenant": "mytenant"
}

Finally, run pytest then build the package:

pytest
python setup.py bdist
