Negotiate authentication for the requests HTTP client library
Project description
# requests-negotiate
An implementation of HTTP Negotiate authentication ([RFC 4559](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4559)) for [requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/).
Negotiate authentication is commonly used to provide Kerberos authentication through GSSAPI.
## Usage
Here’s a trivial example:
import requests import requests_negotiate
auth = requests_negotiate.HTTPNegotiateAuth() response = requests.get(’https://example.org/’, auth=auth)
You’ll need a valid Kerberos ticket — acquired using e.g. kinit — for this to work.
### Options
You can instantiate an HTTPNegotiateAuth with the following optional parameters:
service — A Kerberos principal is generally composed of a service name (e.g. ‘HTTP’) and a hostname, separated by a slash (‘/’). This lets you override the default service of 'HTTP'.
service_name — Overrides the full service name (e.g. 'HTTP/example.org')
negotiate_client_name — Explicitly specify which client principal to authenticate as. Particularly useful when you’re using a credential cache collection.
preempt — Attempt Negotiate authentication before it is offered.
