Firefox Accounts support in Cliquet

Project description

Firefox Accounts support in Cliquet

travis Coverage

Cliquet-fxa enables authentication in Cliquet using Firefox Accounts OAuth2 bearer tokens.

It provides:

  • An authentication policy class;

  • Integration with Cliquet cache backend for token verifications;

  • Some endpoints to perform the OAuth dance (optional).

  • Cliquet documentation

  • Issue tracker

Installation

As stated in the official documentation, Firefox Accounts OAuth integration is currently limited to Mozilla relying services.

Install the Python package:

pip install cliquet-fxa

Enable in configuration using pyramid_multiauth formalism:

multiauth.policies = fxa

By default, it will rely on the cache configured in Cliquet.

Configuration

Fill those settings with the values obtained during the application registration:

fxa-oauth.client_id = 89513028159972bc
fxa-oauth.client_secret = 9aced230585cc0aaea0a3467dd800
fxa-oauth.oauth_uri = https://oauth-stable.dev.lcip.org
fxa-oauth.scope = profile
fxa-oauth.webapp.authorized_domains = *.firefox.com
# fxa-oauth.cache_ttl_seconds = 300
# fxa-oauth.state.ttl_seconds = 3600

In case the application shall not behave as a relier (a.k.a. OAuth dance endpoints disabled):

fxa-oauth.relier.enabled = false

Login flow

OAuth Bearer token

Use the OAuth token with this header:

Authorization: Bearer <oauth_token>
notes:

If the token is not valid, this will result in a 401 error response.

Obtain token using Web UI

  • Navigate the client to GET /v1/fxa-oauth/login?redirect=http://app-endpoint/#. There, a session cookie will be set, and the client will be redirected to a login form on the FxA content server;

  • After submitting the credentials on the login page, the client will be redirected to http://app-endpoint/#{token} (the web-app).

Obtain token custom flow

The GET /v1/fxa-oauth/params endpoint can be use to get the configuration in order to trade the Firefox Accounts BrowserID with a Bearer Token. See Firefox Account documentation about this behavior
