Cookie Authentication Using Python

[#1]

Is there an example of using a cookie in a Python script to verify authentication?  This is as far as I have gotten. The requests returns a 401 error indicating that there is not any authention.

url = "https://10.133.20.20/wapi/v2.11.3/network?network=" + network

response = requests.get(url, verify=False, headers=headers)

import json

import requests

from requests.structures import CaseInsensitiveDict

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

gm_user = 'IPAM_Script'

gm_pwd = 'password'

network = "10.42.6.0"

session = requests.session()

url = "https://10.10.10.1/wapi/v2.11.3/grid"

response_login = requests.get(url, verify=False, auth=(gm_user, gm_pwd))

headers = CaseInsensitiveDict()

headers["Cookie"] = response_login.cookies['ibapauth']

url = "https://10.133.20.20/wapi/v2.11.3/network?network=" + network

response = requests.get(url, verify=False, headers=headers)

net_obj = json.loads(response.text)

url = "https://10.133.20.20/wapi/v2.11.3/grid/" + "logout"

response_logout = requests.put(url, verify=False,headers=headers)

exit()

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I found the solution:

import json

import requests

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

gm_user = 'IPAM_Script'

gm_pwd = 'Password'

network = "10.42.6.0"

#Open a session

session = requests.session()

#Logon to the Grid

url = "https://10.10.10.20/wapi/v2.11.3/grid"

session = requests.get(url, verify=False, auth=(gm_user, gm_pwd))

#Get a network using the session for authentication

url = "https://10.10.10.20/wapi/v2.11.3/network?network=" + network

response = requests.get(url, verify=False, cookies=session.cookies)

net_obj = json.loads(response.text)

print(net_obj[0]['network'])

#Logout of the session

url = "https://10.10.10.20/wapi/v2.11.3/grid/" + "logout"

response_logout = requests.put(url, verify=False,cookies=session.cookies)

exit()

Corrected the closing of the session:

#Logout of the session

session.cookies.clear()

session.close()
