Atlassian JWT authentication

travis-status-image pypi-version-image

This package provides an implementation of the Service to Service Authentication specification.


Installation

To install simply run

$ pip install atlassian-jwt-auth

Using this library

To create a JWT for authentication

    import atlassian_jwt_auth


    signer = atlassian_jwt_auth.create_signer('issuer', 'issuer/key', private_key_pem)
    a_jwt = signer.generate_jwt('audience')

To create a JWT using a file on disk in the conventional location

Each time you call generate_jwt this will find the latest active key file (ends with .pem) and use it to generate your JWT.

    import atlassian_jwt_auth


    signer = atlassian_jwt_auth.create_signer_from_file_private_key_repository('issuer', '/opt/jwtprivatekeys')
    a_jwt = signer.generate_jwt('audience')

To make an authenticated HTTP request

If you use the atlassian_jwt_auth.contrib.requests.JWTAuth provider, you can automatically generate JWT tokens when using the requests library to perform authenticated HTTP requests.

    import atlassian_jwt_auth
    from atlassian_jwt_auth.contrib.requests import JWTAuth

    signer = atlassian_jwt_auth.create_signer('issuer', 'issuer/key', private_key_pem)
    response = requests.get(
        'https://your-url'
        auth=JWTAuth(signer, 'audience')
    )

To verify a JWT

    import atlassian_jwt_auth

    public_key_retriever = atlassian_jwt_auth.HTTPSPublicKeyRetriever('https://example.com')
    verifier = atlassian_jwt_auth.JWTAuthVerifier(public_key_retriever)
    verified_claims = verifier.verify_jwt(a_jwt, 'audience')
