New submission from secynic: urllib/urllib2 AbstractDigestAuthHandler is hardcoded to 5 retries (self.retried). Normally this wouldn't be an issue.
Certain products link basic HTTP auth to Active Directory (yes, this shouldn't be a thing). When you have a failed login attempt lockout set on AD, this will lockout accounts on the very first failed Python basic auth attempt, if the AD lockout is set to 5 or less. In my specific use case, I was able to override request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler.__init__() and request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler.reset_retry_count() by setting self.retried=5. One way to fix this would be to add a new retry_count argument to AbstractDigestAuthHandler. I am a bit busy at the moment, but will submit a patch as soon as I get time. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 277549 nosy: secynic priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urllib/urllib2 AbstractDigestAuthHandler locked to retried count of 5 type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28291> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
