Hi,

I think instead of using your SSO password, you need to use the password specific to your endpoint. You can set this password by going into Studio, go to the Security tab and select your user. Select the menu in the upper right corner and select "Change Password". This should allow you to set a password for your user on this endpoint.

You can then use the password to connect to our endpoint in your python script.

Hello Akshay,

What is it that you are trying to do? If you want to access your Stardog Cloud Free endpoint through the API, then you need to create a username and password for programmatic access. See Accessing API Endpoint | Stardog Documentation Latest for more details. In order to create an API user and/or change the user’s password, the easiest approach is to use Stardog Studio.

Hi Paul,

Appreciate your quick response. I was trying to connect to the endpoint using the pystardog python package. I was trying to connect using my details on the portal.

I managed to connect once I updated the password in studio.

Thank you,

AK
