Library package for Django applications using the IX Profiles server for authentication and user management.
- Logging in is managed by the profile server. Users are redirected to its login page for logging in.
- Users are identified by emails, they use their email to log in to the profile server.
- User details (e.g. names) are updated from the profile server.
- Creating new users in the admin creates them on the profile server. Setting is_active flag subscribes and unsubscribes them from the application.
To connect to the profile server, the following settings should be configured:
# The URL of the profile server to use.
PROFILE_SERVER = 'https://profiles.somewhere/'
# Key and secret to authenticate on the profile server for user management.
# Must correspond to a registered Website on the profile server specified by
# the above URL.
PROFILE_SERVER_KEY = 'myapp'
PROFILE_SERVER_SECRET = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
LOGIN_URL = 'ixprofile-start-login'
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# other applications,
'social.apps.django_app.default',
'ixprofile_client',
)
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'ixprofile_client.backends.IXProfile',
# any other backends you might want; default ModelBackend is not needed
)
If using Django < 1.7, include:
from ixprofile_client import SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE
