Hi,

I have a public explicit proxy that redirects to Okta in order to login. I’m trying to figure out a way to use a python script to be able to handle the SAML login and then proceed to request the proxy to browse to a website. I suspect that once the login is accepted, there’s another token that needs to be attached to each web request to validate the authentication to be able to browse.

How can I handle this in a python script? I can figure out the proxy aspect of the browsing, I just don’t know a good way to handle the SAML authentication component.
