Django admin SSO

Django admin SSO lets users login to a django admin using an OAuth2 or an openid provider. It then looks up the email address of the new user and looks up the rights for them.

Installation

1. Make sure you have a working django project setup.

2. Install django-admin-sso using pip:

   pip install django-admin-sso

3. Add admin_sso to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'admin_sso',
       ...
   )

4. Add the django-admin authentication backend:

   AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
       'admin_sso.auth.DjangoSSOAuthBackend',
       'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
   )

5. Insert your oauth client id and secret key into your settings file:

   DJANGO_ADMIN_SSO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID = 'your client id here'
   DJANGO_ADMIN_SSO_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET = 'your client secret here'

Navigate to Google's Developer Console, create a new project, and create a new client ID under the menu point "APIs & AUTH", "Credentials". The redirect URI should be of the form http://example.com/admin/admin_sso/assignment/end/

If you don't specify a client id django-admin-sso will fallback to openid.

6. Run syncdb to create the needed database tables.
7. Log into the admin and add an Assignment.

Changelog
