Connect to sharepoint using auth cookies

[nebhandari]

I need to connect to sharepoint using auth cookies - rTFa and FedAuth.

Can you share the substitute command for this :
opener = basic_auth_opener(server_url, "username", "password")

Hi nebhandari,

although i cannot help you with your problem specifically, i may provide an example on how i authenticate using NTLM auth. You may be able to modify my code to your needs and apply it to your type of authentication.
I use python3 in the following example.

# I use urllib.request for my custom opener
import urllib.request, urllib.error, urllib.parse
# I use a modified version of python-ntlm, providing me with the ability to use NTLM in py3
sys.path.append('./python-ntlm/python30/')
from ntlm import HTTPNtlmAuthHandler

passman = urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
passman.add_password(None, URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD)

auth = HTTPNtlmAuthHandler.HTTPNtlmAuthHandler(passman)
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth)
site = SharePointSite(URL, opener)

URL, USERNAME and PASSWORD being user-defined constants.
