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

Modified by Thomas Frössman with fixes and additional modifications.

Quickstart

Install djangooidc:

# Latest (pre) release
pip install django-oidc-tf


# Latest code - unstable!
pip install git+https://github.com/thomasf/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": ["ops@example.com"],
        "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.
