Using custom request

Hi, Is there a way to access the request session that makes the call to salesforce in a view?

I am trying to use this package with OpenId credentials. Ultimately would like to do something like this:

def my_accounts(request):
    session = requests.Session()
    session.headers.update(...)
    Account.objects(session=session).all()

Thanks

This is exactly what “dynamic authentication” does:

connections['salesforce'].sf_session.auth.dynamic_start(access_token, instance_url=instance_url)
# some work...
connections['salesforce'].sf_session.auth.dynamic_end()
# forgot the access token and optionally use the auth values that were valid before .dynamic_start(...)

It is regularly tested by tests/test_dynamic_auth/tests.py.

It should be thread safe to use different tokens/organizations in different in individual threads. That was tested manually four years ago, but no automated test exists.

Three years ago I wrote also a modified general SalesforceAuth that can work with a custom authentication class configurable by DATABASES settings, not on only the default SalesforcePasswordAuth or a direct work with tokens by auth.dynamic_start(), e.g. a class for interactive authentication by “Force.com CLI” by web browser, useful for development with Salesforce, without saving a password anywhere. It is not a part of production repository still and it is little obsoleted because SFDX is probably a better option now. If that solution would be committed then the dynamic auth probably will have to be enabled in settings to work.

Thanks @philchristensen and @hynekcer, that does trick.
