OIDCProvider

A Rails engine for providing OpenID Connect authorization. Uses the openid_connect gem to turn a Rails app into an OpenID Connect provider.

Usage

Use your application as an Open ID provider.

You'll need some kind of user authentication to exist on you application first. Normally we use Devise.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'oidc_provider'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install oidc_provider

Install the support stuffs:

• an initializer
• default routes to your routes file

$ rails generate oidc_provider:install

Migrations next:

$ rails oidc_provider:install:migrations
$ rails db:migrate

Private Key

This gem signs the generated JWT (JSON Web Tokens) using a private key that should exist at the path lib/oidc_provider_key.pem in your Rails application.

You can pass its passphrase using the OIDC_PROVIDER_KEY_PASSPHRASE environment variable.

This gem provide a convenient way of generating one if you need it by running :

$ rails oidc_provider:generate_key
