Example SSO & API usage for ESI

A short example in python using Flask and ESI swagger_client

Requirements

• Python set up with pip available
• Docker set up and ready to run docker instances

Instructions

• Once the requirements have been met, run setup.py. This will do a bunch of work for you:
  • Generate the swagger_client for python using docker (the methods listed on the page you've likely been reading are currently all broken).
  • Create a virtualenv to keep dependencies and other stuff off of your global Python installation
  • Install all of the requirements for the swagger_client and for the sample application
  • Run the application for the first time so you can see it going
• Point a browser at localhost:8888 (or if you've changed the port number in config, to that port number)
• Play with it!

After the initial demonstration, to re-run the application from the command line on your own, you will want to do the following:

1. . venv/bin/activate
2. python sso.py # do this as many times as you want as you test things out
3. deactivate # ends your virtualenv session

Please provide feedback if there are ways that this can be simplified for clarity.
