django-admin-oauth2

A django app that replaces the django admin authentication mechanism by deferring to an oauth2 provider.

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE

If you use this package, you should install the latest development version of requests_oauthlib in order to get an important commit that fixes a CSRF vulnerability

Support

django-admin-oauth2 should support Python 2.6, 2.7, pypy, and Django versions 1.4 through 1.7

Installation

Step 1: pip install django-admin-oauth2 and include it in your project's requirements

Step 2: Include the django-admin-oauth2 urlconf in your project's urls.py:

url(r'/admin/oauth/', include('oauthadmin.urls'))

Step 3: Include oauthadmin in your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'oauthadmin'
)

Step 4: Install the middleware in your project's settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'oauthadmin.middleware.OauthAdminSessionMiddleware'
)

make sure that this comes AFTER 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'

Step 5: If you are on Django 1.5 or above, you'll need to set your session serializer to "django.contrib.sessions.serializers.PickleSerializer" since we are storing the pickled user object in the session.

SESSION_SERIALIZER = "django.contrib.sessions.serializers.PickleSerializer"

Step 6: Set up all the correct options (see below for available options)

Settings

• OAUTHADMIN_GET_USER: This is function that is given the oauth token and returns a django.auth.models.User model corresponding to the currently logged-in user. You can set permissions on this user object and stuff.
• OAUTHADMIN_CLIENT_ID: Your oAuth client ID
• OAUTHADMIN_CLIENT_SECRET: oAuth client secret
• OAUTHADMIN_BASE_URL: The landing point for all oAuth related queries.
• OATHADMIN_AUTH_URL: oAuth provider URL
• OAUTHADMIN_TOKEN_URL: oAuth bearer token provider URL
• OAUTHADMIN_PING_INTERVAL (optional, defaults to 300): Minimum number of seconds between ping requests
• OAUTHADMIN_PING: (optional, defaults to None) This optional function takes an oauth token and returns True if it's still valid and False if it's no longer valid (if they have logged out of the oauth server)
