I am writing a script to automate the process of regularly upload specific files to Box.
After reading the BOX API, I know I have to use client-id and client-secret to get an authentication url which open in browser, then I login in by username and password, click allow, then I get redirect to a url I provided with Auth Code attached to the end of this redirect url.
problem now is, I am writing a script not an web or mobile app. Therefore, I have to avoid these UI web html manual login.
Is there a way??? I can get this authentication url by code in python using BOX's python SDK.Then I can open a browser in python by webbrowser module then I can type in username/password. Then I get redirected. Maybe I can use some special redirect url to send auth code back to my code? I don't know how to do that.
Please help!
You should use JWT authentication.
Unlike the standard OAuth 2 flow, JWT will allow you to use your own identity
provider to bypass the application auth and redirect. Building with JWT will allow
you to hide the Box process behind the scenes.

I am writing a Django app that uses a 3rd-Party Authentication Service implemented with FusionAuth.
I can successfully register and login (using the authorization code flow).
However, logging out is not working. I can logout from the local Django app, but when I try to login after that FusionAuth recognizes that my access_token is still valid and just goes directly to the redirect page (the page you usually goto after successfully logging into FusionAuth).
Clearly I don't understand something about FusionAuth. I have tried both the python client and the restful API and I don't really understand what it does. According to the documentation it "...is intended to be used to remove the refresh token and access token cookies if they exist on the client and revoke the refresh token". Why then is the access_token still valid?
There seem like a couple of issues here.
First, you need to redirect the browser to https://your.fusionauth.instance/oauth2/logout and that will delete your FusionAuth SSO session. That will stop the behavior of FusionAuth redirecting you. This is because you have an SSO session cookie, and going to that URL will delete it.
Second, if you want to revoke the access token, that takes a bit more work. It is stateless. It's not the same as a session, and is distinct from the SSO session mentioned above. The access token is something you present to other APIs, not to FusionAuth. Here's some more info: https://fusionauth.io/learn/expert-advice/tokens/revoking-jwts
Hope this helps.
First of all, I googled this question but found some generic explanations which didn't provide me with good understanding how to do things.
Second - I'm a valid system user (not admin) and have access to the data. I.e. I have valid user credentials and may download file manually but for small automation I would like to have it downloaded by python script from my PC.
The download itself is simple, the only thing - I need to provide a valid session id cookie with request. I.e. finally I need to get this cookie by easiest way.
If my understaning is right in terms of SAML I'm a User Agent and want to download a file from Sevice Provider which need to authenticate me with Identity Provider (Microsoft). Usually I do it via browser and now I'm able to emulate it with help of PySide6 (QWebEngineView). I load target URL first in QWebEngineView. Actually it is a small embedded web-browser, it redirects me to login.microsoft.com, asks credentials and then redirects me back to Service Provider site and sets session id cookie. Then I'm able to use this cookie with my requests. It works but I would like to get rid of GUI (PySide) if possible.
I decided to replicate a flow that browser does and failed almost at the begining. What happens:
I'm requesting a file from my Service Provider side with usual get request.
Service provider replies with HTML page (instead of target file) as I'm not authenticated.
This HTML page contains Java script triggered by onPageLoad event - this java script simply redirects browswer to login.microsoft.com (long URL with some parameters).
Next request with this long URL for login.microsoft.com ends with "302 Moved Temporarily" with the same URL in "Location" header. And when I go with this URL it again gives me 302 with the same URL.
With the same scenario browswer gets only two redirections and finally receives an URL of web page with login/password request from microsoft.com.
I understand that I should put some more headers/cookies when I go again with URL provided in "Location" header of 302 response. But... I have no idea what login.microsoft.com expects here.
So my question is - is there any source where this message flow is described? Or maybe someone did it already and may give me advice how to proceed?
I found some SAML-related libraries for python but I see there quite complex configuration with x509 certificates and more stuff - it looks like they are more targeted for implementation on Service Provider side, not for external login.
I am trying to Authenticate O365 Mail Rest API using Python 3 urllib, I am not able to find any samples using basic authentication. When using browser it does ask for authentication through interactive windows. How to achieve the same using urllib.
The authentication based on oAuth requires a user interaction in order to authenticate:
The authorization code is sent back to the application after the user
has been redirected to the authorization end point and authenticated.
So no basic authentication, you have to go though the oAuth process.
A similar problem on the Google platform is handled in various ways, one of them being user-based authentication but there is also provisionning for token based ones (no user interaction)
I've managed to implement the simpleauth package for a basic webapp I've been working on. I now need to send data to this service from a python script running on a Raspberry Pi (the app is a "data logger" for temperature). Before I had implemented the simpleauth package, I could just POST the data and username to the site. Alas, now the response is the login page (to be expected).
If I wanted to connect to this webapp from the command line, I assume I'll need to authenticate myself. However, how would I go about doing this? I assume I'm going to need to programmatically replicate the steps taken by the browser to get a token but I think I've tried this and it hasn't worked. I'm not even sure who my token provider is - my webapp, or Google?
Any tips?
If you're trying to authenticate on an installed or console app, you need to use urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob as the redirect_uri GET param in when you redirect the user to the login/authorization page. Once your app has been authorized, they'll be presented with a valid OAuth 2.0 code in a text box that they'll have to copy/paste into your app. Once they do that, then your app must follow the rest of the usual server-side flow (code for token exchange, etc.).
Is it possible to post as a page (which I'm an admin of) without authenticating myself in a browser? I have seen that, for example, Facebook Python SDK allows you to interact with Facebook API but it needs to get an authorization via a browser. Instead, I'd like to do that automatically.
I have created an APP so I have an APP_ID, an USER_TOKEN and using 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=' + CLIENT_ID + '&client_secret=' + CLIENT_SECRET I got an Oauth Access Token but I can't find a way to achieve complete automation in posting a message to my page, so how can I accomplish that?
I just read about Authentication for Devices but I'm still not sure that it's what I want.
Thanks!
