Using the IAM Authenticator with Python

Secrets Management - Conjur, Secrets Hub & CP Conjur Enterprise

If I’m correct, the iam authenticator won’t work with the conjur python3 library, as the authn/url is hardcoded with no override

so I can’t switch to an alternate, auth-iam like we can with the ruby library, does that mean we have to do manual rest invocations rather than going throgh a library?

I have created a python library for interfacing with conjur’s authn-iam service.
It can be found here: https://github.com/AndrewCopeland/conjur-iam-api-key

The README on this github should give you all the information you are looking for.

If you run into any issues please leave a comment and I will be happy to help.

Thanks,
Andrew
