I'm trying to access a file folder in SharePoint directly within Python so I can see the files stored in there and manipulate them as necessary. However, I don't have a username or password to sign into SharePoint, I use a certificate like from a PIV or CAC card.
Is there a way to use my certificate to access SharePoint files within a folder in SharePoint using a PIV/CAC to login without Azure?
Sorry if this isn't thorough enough, new to stack overflow.
The code below is some I found answering a similar question, of how to interface with SharePoint via Python if you DO have a username and password. Is it possible this could be modified for those using smart cards? If so, please explain how to.
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.files.file import File

# This will be the URL that points to your sharepoint site.
# Make sure you change only the parts of the link that start with "Your"
url_shrpt = 'https://YourOrganisation.sharepoint.com/sites/YourSharepointSiteName'
username_shrpt = 'YourUsername'
password_shrpt = 'YourPassword'
folder_url_shrpt = '/sites/YourSharepointSiteName/Shared%20Documents/YourSharepointFolderName/'
