METADATA_AUTO_CONF_URL requires authentication

[ghost]

I am using this plugin for my django application for Okta integration. However I am unable to use it as my metadata url is also authenticated by session which is present in browser but not in my app. Please provide a method so that I can download the contents of metadata url in a xml file and provide path for same in settings instead of url.

I have changed the logic in views.py suitable to my needs so that it is now reading METADATA_AUTO_CONF_URL from my local machine. I am downloading metadata.xml to my local machine which is a one time activity.
