It integrates with Active Directory and supports Extended Protection for Authentication (Channel Binding Hash), making it suitable for enterprise environments that require this security feature.\n\nThe package is a thin wrapper around Windows authentication mechanisms, designed for developers building HTTP clients that need to authenticate against Windows-protected resources without prompting for credentials. It works by plugging into requests' auth handler system, allowing transparent SSO when the user is already authenticated to the Windows domain.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2018-10-10, last commit 2023-03-31) and targets Python versions up to 3.5. While it has low install friction and permissive licensing, the lack of maintenance means no fixes for modern Python or requests versions, and no support for security issues. Use only if you are locked into legacy Python 2.7 or early Python 3 on Windows; otherwise, evaluate modern alternatives or native requests authentication methods."},"id":"requests-negotiate-sspi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requests-negotiate-sspi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requests-negotiate-sspi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/requests-negotiate-sspi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-10-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"requests-negotiate-sspi","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"This package allows for Single-Sign On HTTP Negotiate authentication using the requests library on Windows."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":111377,"position":12419,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.2"}
