Django OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication provider

This module makes it easy to integrate OpenID Connect as an authentication source in a Django project.

Behind the scenes, it uses Roland Hedberg's great pyoidc library.

Modified by JHUAPL BOSS to support Python3

Quickstart

Install djangooidc:

# Latest code
pip install git+https://github.com/jhuapl-boss/django-oidc.git

Then to use it in a Django project, add this to your urls.py:

url(r'openid/', include('djangooidc.urls')),

Then add the following items to your settings.py:

• add 'djangooidc.backends.OpenIdConnectBackend' to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS after the default 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend'

• set LOGIN_URL = 'openid'

• add the specific OIDC parameters (change the absolute URLs to yours):

  # Information used when registering the client, this may be the same for all OPs
  # Ignored if auto registration is not used.
  OIDC_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_DATA = {
      "application_type": "web",
      "contacts": ["[email protected]"],
      "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8000/openid/callback/login/", ],
      "post_logout_redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8000/openid/callback/logout/", ]
  }
  
  # Default is using the 'code' workflow, which requires direct connectivity from your website to the OP.
  OIDC_DEFAULT_BEHAVIOUR = {
      "response_type": "code",
      "scope": ["openid", "profile", "email", "address", "phone"],
  }
  

The configuration above is enough to use OIDC providers (OP) that support discovery and self client registration. In addition, you may want to use a specific OpenID Connect provider that is not auto-discoverable. This is done by adding items to the OIDC_PROVIDERS dictionary. See full documentation for parameter names.

For example, an Azure AD OP would be:

OIDC_PROVIDERS = {
    "Azure Active Directory": {
        "srv_discovery_url": "https://sts.windows.net/aaaaaaaa-aaaa-1111-aaaa-xxxxxxxxxxxxx/",
        "behaviour": OIDC_DEFAULT_BEHAVIOUR,
        "client_registration": {
            "client_id": "your_client_id",
            "client_secret": "your_client_secret",
            "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8000/openid/callback/login/"],
            "post_logout_redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8000/openid/callback/logout/"],
        }
    }
}

You may now test the authentication by going to (on the development server) http://localhost:8000/openid/login or to any of your views that requires authentication.
