TokenProviders

[skinkie]

In the current Python code I cannot find any interface to specify a TokenProvider similar to the C# SDK. When can this be expected?

We would like to have this code working using the Python API.

MessagingFactory listenMF = MessagingFactory.Create(endpoints, new StaticSASTokenProvider(subscriptionToken));
SubscriptionClient sc = listenMF.CreateSubscriptionClient(topicPath, subscriptionName);

We'll need to investigate. I had no knowledge of this functionality, therefore there was no plan on adding it.

That is the main point, there is absolutely 0% documentation on this feature given that the C# code is closed source.

Are there any plans for this to be implemented? For servicebus features this is kind of a big thing afaik.

There is an interface you can use to provide the signature to the request, which is close to the behavior asked here. The class must provide an implementation of the sign_request method:

class ServiceBusCustomAuthentication:
    def sign_request(self, request, httpclient):
        # Example when adding an header, but you can do anything you want with the request
        request.headers.append(
            ('Authorization', 'my sensitive authentication string')
        )

Then, create the ServiceBusService using an instance of this class:

client = ServiceBusService(authentication=ServiceBusCustomAuthentication())

ACS implementation
SAS implementation

Please tell me if you think this does not answer the question.
Thank you,
