Add cookie-based authentication

[JayBeeDe]

Hi,
In my company, we have an on-premised jira instance running behind a Microsoft SSO.
I've managed to develop a python script to manage Jira tickets via the SSO thanks to cookie authentication. This is practical for handling batches of ticket but it's not interactive. So I actually also uses the GUI when I need interactive interface.
Since this project is an interactive CLI, I would like to use it instead of the Jira GUI.

My script has a SSO module to get the "JSESSION id" to be able to interact with Jira via the SSO authentication.
In this project, is there a way to authenticate via a JSESSION id ?
Would it be possible to add this possibility ?

My python script is using Atlassian Python API library. It initializes a jira object as follow:

jira = Jira(
    url=settings["jira"]["api"]["server"],
    cookies={
        "JSESSIONID": j_session_id,
    }
)

By checking the content of the python library, I've found that it just uses standard cookie with python-requests standard library.
