PBS UUA OpenId Consumer

Project description

Installation
============
`pip install pbs-account-consumer`

Configuration
=============
1. Add `pbs_account_consumer` to the INSTALLED_APPS section of the settings file.

2. After installing you need to add a couple of params to your settings.py file.

* **Example param values:**
- OPENID_SSO_SERVER_URL = 'https://account.pbs.org/cranky'
- OPENID_CREATE_USERS = True
- OPENID_UPDATE_DETAILS_FROM_SREG = True
- OPENID_USE_AS_ADMIN_LOGIN = True
- OPENID_ADMIN_LOGIN_TEMPLATE = None
- LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'

3. Add the consumer app to the url routing.

* **For example:**
- Add `url(r'^openid/', include('pbs_account_consumer.urls'))` to urls.py in your project.

4. Add the proper authentication backend to your project.

- Add `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (..., 'pbs_account_consumer.auth.OpenIDBackend',)` to settings.py.

5. Add the proper login link to the admin login template:

- Add `pbs_accout_consumer.urls` to the main urls.py file of your project.

- Add `pbs_account_consumer.context_processors.openid_config` to
`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` in settings.py

6. (Optional) If you want to use a custom realm (eg. you don't want it to point
to the base of your domain) you have to set OPENID_CUSTOM_REALM in settings.py:

OPENID_CUSTOM_REALM = 'https://mysite.com/realm'

The default is the absolute URI of the base of your website.

7. (Optional) If you want to use a custom domain (eg. if you are using a proxy for your
website) for the `return_to` page you can set OPENID_CUSTOM_RETURN_TO in settings.py:

OPENID_CUSTOM_RETURN_TO = 'https://mysite.com/realm/landing'

The return_to parameter of the OpenID request will be set to `login_route` route,
relative to this parameter.
The default is the absolute URI of the base of your website.

The RETURN_TO url should be under the REALM (trust_root), otherwise the OpenID
provider will give an error and disallow authentication.

8. (Optional) If you need to know whether a user verified his email address you have
to add to settings.py file:

AX_FETCH_IS_VERIFIED = True

OpenIDBackend
=============

To check if a user has a verified email address, use _get_is_verified() method from backend.
Also, is a user should not be allowed to login with an unverified email, subclass OpenIDBackend,
override create_user_from_openid and set on the user object the attribute requires_verified_email
to True:

class MyOpenIDBackend(OpenIDBackend):
def create_user_from_openid(self, openid_response):
...
if condition:
if not self._get_is_verified(openid_response):
user.requires_verified_email = True
return user
...

Requirments
===========
1. Python version 2.7 or greater.
2. Django version 1.4 or greater.
