HTTP Authentication in Python Client

Asked by Joey Knox

We use SQL Server Reporting Services reports in a few of our layouts. While testing the python client for Ubuntu 12.04, we found that these layouts do not load properly. This is because SSRS requires the requester to be authenticated. In Windows, we could either join the machine to the domain (and thereby use NTLM authentication) or save the credentials in IE for this to work. However, is it possible to store credentials so that the python client can authenticate using HTTP authentication?
