Django Authentication OpenID Connect plugin for the Boss SSO

This package configured the django-oidc (jhuapl-boss fork) and drf-oidc-auth Django authentication plugins for use with the Boss Keycloak authentication server providing single sign-on (SSO) capability for the larger Boss infrastructure.

While boss-oidc used the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol for talking with the Keycloak Auth server, there may be some Keycloak specific implementation details that are also captured in the code. Testing with other OIDC providers has not been tested.

Supported Django Versions

This version of boss-oidc only supports Django 1.x.

Support for Django 2.x and Keycloak 11 exists in the new repo: boss-oidc2

Quickstart

Install bossoidc:

pip install git+https://github.com/jhuapl-boss/django-oidc.git
pip install git+https://github.com/jhuapl-boss/drf-oidc-auth.git
pip install git+https://github.com/jhuapl-boss/boss-oidc.git

Configure authentication for Django and Django REST Framework in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'bossoidc',
    'djangooidc',
]

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    'bossoidc.backend.OpenIdConnectBackend',
    # ...
]

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
    ),
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        # ...
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
        'oidc_auth.authentication.BearerTokenAuthentication',
    ),
}

# (Optional) A function used to process additional scope values in the token
#            It also provides a helpful hook for each time a user logs in
# Function Args:
#   user (User object): The user that is logging in
#   token (dict): The user's userinfo that was requested from Keycloak and used
#                 to lookup and create or update the user object
UPDATE_USER_DATA = 'path.to.function'

# (Optional) A function used to process a user's roles for the application
#            It also provides a helpful hook for each time a user logs in
# Function Args:
#   user (User object): The user that is logging in
#   roles (list of string): List of the roles the user is currently assigned
LOAD_USER_ROLES = 'path.to.function'

# NOTE: The following two rules are automatically applied to all user account during
#       the login process to allow bootstrapping admin / superuser accounts.
# The user will be assigned Django staff permissions if they have a 'admin' or 'superuser' role in Keycloak
# The user will be assigned Django superuser permissions if they have a 'superuser' role in Keycloak

auth_uri = "https://auth.theboss.io/auth/realms/BOSS"
client_id = "<auth client id>" # Client ID configured in the Auth Server
public_uri = "http://localhost:8000" # The address that the client will be redirected back to
                                     # NOTE: the public uri needs to be configured in the Auth Server
                                     #       as a valid uri to redirect to
scope = ['openid', 'profile', 'email'] # NOTE: This is the default scope if one is not provided

from bossoidc.settings import *
configure_oidc(auth_uri, client_id, public_uri, scope) # NOTE: scope is optional and can be left out

Add the required URLs to the Django project in urls.py:

url(r'openid/', include('djangooidc.urls')),

Run the following migration to create the table for storing the Keycloak UID

$ python manage.py migrate

You may now test the authentication by going to (on the development server) http://localhost:8000/openid/login or to any of your views that requires authentication.

Features

• Ready to use Django authentication backend
• Fully integrated with Django's internal accounts and permission system
• Stores Keycloak UID to improve Keycloak - Django account association
• Support for OpenID Connect Bearer Token Authentication
