Password caching when using AWS Okta Keyman over SSH

There are limitations to how Keyring (the Python library in use to cache passwords) works on Linux systems. If you are SSHd into a system and are receiving a Keyring related error this may help solve your issue: https://github.com/jaraco/keyring#using-keyring-on-headless-linux-systems

Password Caching in Python 2.7

Password caching works in Python 2.7 but on Linux will likely require the installation of python-dbus or the related package for your distribution. If you have any Keyring related issues when using Python 2.7 please see the documentation in the original library here: https://github.com/jaraco/keyring

HTTP Proxy Support

The libraries used in AWS Okta Keyman all will refer to the http_proxy environment variable. If you need to pass your requests though a proxy ensure this variable is set.

What about feature ____?

I have been looking at the other similar tools that are available today and have been tracking which features are provided and which AWS Okta Keyman has. Long-term I would like to provide feature parity to most of the others but for now I've been focused on providing features that have been specifically asked for or needed by current users. Feature requests are absolutely welcome. Please open an issue if there's something you would like to see added.
