how to login to jenkins with third party sso from python scripts

[Sushant Gupta]

Hi All,

I don't know if anyone tried to login to sso enabled jenkins server from python api.

I need to automate jenkins, It is very easy to login to jenkins from python with its local-user/password. But our jenkins server is configured with assembla sso and I am not able to login through jenkins.jenkins python module. Can any oen suggest how to login to jenkins server with third party sso configuration.
python api docs: https://python-jenkins.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html

I am open to use any other module.

import jenkins
j = jenkins.Jenkins('http://your_url_here', 'username', 'password')
j.get_jobs()

Regards,
Sushant

It looks like Jenkins supports access with an API token[1] .  Unfortunately python-jenkins doesn't provide the ability to pass an API token when connecting to jenkins.  But it does seem like what you are asking for is possible.  I would suggest you enter a bug in the python-jenkins issue tracker for this feature.  You never know :)

Actually I am wrong.  python-jenkins does allow users to pass a token when connecting to jenkins.   You can just pass the username and token to authenticate, just replace the password with the token and it should work, like so..

j = jenkins.Jenkins('http://your_url_here', 'username', '0d571a048e1f707f306cb52a44a5f706')

Where do we get this API token from

https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/system-administration/authenticating-scripted-clients/ will hopefully get you started.
