Installation

Installation is very simple, execute the following command:

pip install python-openam

Module is installed and can be used.

Example usage

The following is a basic example for authenticating and doing an logout on OpenAM:

import openam

am = openam.Openam(openam_url="http://openam.example.com:8080/openam/")
am.authenticate(username="amadmin", password="password_openam")
am.logout()

You’ll have to update the ‘openam_url’ and both the ‘username’ and ‘password’ for your setup.
