How to perform authentication programmatically in a website behind Okta?
I used to run a python script that was doing authentication through requests module. All is running in an automated Jenkins job (that is storing credentials securely... hopefully!) that was working beautifully. At some point my org decided to enable SSO with Okta and of course that website is rejecting the authentication that now needs to be performed through Okta. I tried to solve this using python/rest but Okta doesn't (officially) support python SDK. I would be happy to use any other way to make the Jenkins job happy.
Note that this question might have been asked in other forms but the answers all point to either the usage of flask or curl, which unfortunately didn't work in my case. They assume you have the ability to query https://.okta.com/auth/v1 that my org doesn't seem to support.
