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)

1. 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

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

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

Usage

After installation

1. set the environment variables

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

2. 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)
