Python wrappers above cern-get-sso-cookie.
Assumptions are:
- You have cern-get-sso-cookie on your system installed
- You have your CERN user certificate in some secure directory named
myCert.pem
andmyCert.key
Basic usage:
from cernsso.cookie import CookieManager
# Directory should contain myCert.pem, myCert.key and be writable
m = CookieManager("/your/private/directory")
url = "http://eindex.cern.ch/"
# This cookie should be used with your http requests
cookies = m.get_cookie(url)
import requests
r = requests.get(url, cookies=cookies) # probably will fail without export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/CERNGridCertificationAuthority.pem
The m.get_cookie
does load cached cookie, if it was obtained in last 24-hours. To force-obtain cookie one should use m.get_new_cookie
.
All cookies are stored in sqlite storage inside working directory "/your/private/directory"
