kerberos-proxy-auth

kerberos-proxy-auth

This package patches requests and urllib3 at runtime to authenticate with kerberos proxy (spnego)

Installation

a) using a NON-kerberos proxy (if available)

• set the environment variables to NON-kerberos proxy and use pip install ...

  set https_proxy=http://<NONkerberosproxy>:8080
  set http_proxy=http://<NONkerberosproxy>:8080
  pip install kerberos-proxy-auth
  

b) from behind the kerberos proxy

• download this package manually as well as all its dependancies.
• run this command

  pip install path/to/kerberos-proxy-auth-main.zip path/to/dependancy1.zip path/to/dependancy2.zip [...]
  

Usage

After installation

• set the environment variables

  set https_proxy=http://<kerberosproxy>:8080
  set http_proxy=http://<kerberosproxy>:8080
  

• start python and use requests, urllib3 or pip even from behind the kerberos proxy without any further action.

  import requests
  r = requests.get('https://example.org')
  print(r.status_code)
  # expected: 200
  
  r = requests.head('https://example.org')
  print(r.status_code)
  # expected: 200
  
  r = requests.request('GET', 'https://example.org')
  print(r.status_code)
  # expected : 200
  
  import urllib3, os
  http = urllib3.poolmanager.proxy_from_url(os.getenv('https_proxy'))
  r = http.request('GET', 'https://example.org')
  print(r.status)
  # expected : 200
  

ToDo

• test, feedback, contribute improvements
• rework to support other environments (currently only: windows/system)
