auth_from_jwt

[ayushin]

Hi,

Now that there is auth_jwt and auth_from_remote_user I wonder why there is not auth_from_jwt that would create a session and sign user in?

I guess I miss something architecture wise? @sbidoul

@ayushin auth_jwt has a user_id_strategy that is meant to be extended.

If you need a full Odoo sign in, you may also be interested in auth_oidc for an OpenId Connect implementation.

I saw that thank you! What I need is to sign in user by url redirect from another backend where the user is already authorised without the user knowing it is being signed in again.

I am not an expert with Openid but I believe the flow has to be initiated by the user and there will be some auth screens in between?

For now what I have in mind is to direct user with JWT header pre-set by another backend to some jwt endpoint that would do what auth/session does and redirect it to the final url.

Not sure how user_id_strategy helps me with that? @sbidoul
