okta-uuid

This is a simple module for turning Okta's user IDs (which appear to be base62-encoded integers) into UUIDs, and vice versa. This is useful for integrating Okta with systems or services where you don't necessarily want to use string identifiers.

Installing

First, make sure you're using Python 3.2 or newer.

Install from pypi: pip install okta-uuid

Developing

• Create a virtualenv.
• Clone this repo.
• Install the requirements: python setup.py develop.
• Hack away!

There's a (small!) test suite included. You can run it with python test.py.

Using

Get a UUID from an Okta ID:

idstr = '00ABCD1234wxyz5678pq'
oid = okta_uuid.OktaUserId(idstr)

print(repr(oid))
print(oid)
print(oid.uuid)

# output:
#
# OktaUserId('00ABCD1234wxyz5678pq')
# 00ABCD1234wxyz5678pq
# cb406d76-d66a-6007-5001-36cc7b010000

Get an Okta ID from a UUID:

idstr = '00ABCD1234wxyz5678pq'
oid = okta_uuid.OktaUserId(idstr)
new_oid = okta_uuid.OktaUserId.from_uuid(oid.uuid)

print(new_oid)
print(oid == new_oid)

# output:
#
# 00ABCD1234wxyz5678pq
# True
