# This  should redirect us to the login page 
# On looking at the page source we can find that 
# in the submit form 6 values are submitted (at least at the time of this script)
# try to take those values out using beautiful soup 
# and then do a post request. On doing post https://login.oracle.com/mysso/signon.jsp 
# we will be given message we have the data which is more than necessary
# then it will take us to the form where we have to submit data here 
# https://login.oracle.com/oam/server/sso/auth_cred_submit
# once done we are signed in and doing and requests.get(url) will get you the page you want.

r = s.get("company's local url- a link which requires authentication")
if r.status_code != requests.codes.ok:
  print 'error'
  exit(1)

c = r.content
soup = BeautifulSoup(c,'lxml')
svars = {}

for var in soup.findAll('input',type="hidden"):
    svars[var['name']] = var['value']

i was able to fix it finally using the ADF Faces param org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.agent.email=true which enables you to output your page in a simplified mode either for printing or for emailing which is more convenient when scraping the site. anyone having the same issue, checkout https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/adf/develop-faces/adf-faces-outputmodes.htm
