Django Gaeauth

An Django authentication backend for using the Google App Engine Users and Oauth API for user login/logout.

It only works on Google App Engine and you will also need the Djangoappengine backend for Django-Nonrel.

Installation

  • get the code:

    git clone https://fhahn@github.com/fhahn/django-gaeauth.git

  • add gaeauth.backends.GoogleAccountBackend to your AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS and gaeauth to your INSTALLED_APPS

    settings.py:

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
      ...
      'gaeauth.backends.GoogleAccountBackend',
)

INSTALLED_APPS = (
      ...
      'gaeauth',
)

  • include gaeauth.urls in your urlconf to login, logout and authenticate

    urls.py:

    urlpatterns = patterns('',
     ...
     (r'^accounts/', include('gaeauth.urls')),
)

Now you can use /accounts/login/ to use Google Accounts for login and /accounts/logout/ to log out.
