not at this time.  
What kind of use case is this needed for?

Thank you for your reply. Is the go SDK possible? Is the Python SDK lagging behind the functionality of the Go SDK?

Previously, I obtained id. json by creating an identity and authenticating JWT, and used id. json through the Python SDK to access applications within the Ziti network. Yesterday, I saw that the Go SDK can authenticate and access internal applications on the Ziti network using the account and password of the UPDB user. But I don't think the Python SDK is used in this way.
