Django Keycloak Auth
What is it?
Django Keycloak Auth is a simple library that authorizes your application's resources using Django Rest Framework.
This package is used to perform authorization by keycloak roles from JWT token. Both realm roles and client roles are
supported.
For example, the following token indicates that the user has the realm role "manager" and the client
roles "director" and "employer" :
...
"realm_access": {
"roles": [
"manager"
]
},
"resource_access": {
"first-api": {
"roles": [
"director",
"employer",
]
}
},
...

Usage
- In your application
settings.py
file, add following Middleware:
MIDDLEWARE = [
'django_keycloak_auth.middleware.KeycloakMiddleware',
]
KEYCLOAK_EXEMPT_URIS = []
KEYCLOAK_CONFIG = {
'KEYCLOAK_SERVER_URL': 'http://localhost:8080',
'KEYCLOAK_REALM': 'TEST',
'KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID': 'client-backend',
'KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET_KEY': 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
'KEYCLOAK_CACHE_TTL': 60,
'LOCAL_DECODE': False
}
How to apply on your Views
Class-based Views
ModelViewSet
from rest_framework import viewsets, views
from . import models, serializers
from rest_framework import status
from django.http.response import JsonResponse
from rest_framework.exceptions import PermissionDenied
class BankViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""
Bank endpoint
This endpoint has all configured keycloak roles
"""
serializer_class = serializers.BankSerializer
queryset = models.Bank.objects.all()
keycloak_roles = {
'GET': ['director', 'judge', 'employee'],
'POST': ['director', 'judge', ],
'UPDATE': ['director', 'judge', ],
'DELETE': ['director', 'judge', ],
'PATCH': ['director', 'judge', 'employee'],
}
def list(self, request):
"""
Overwrite method
You can specify your rules inside each method
using the variable 'request.roles' that means a
list of roles that came from authenticated token.
See the following example bellow:
"""
print(request.roles)
print(request.userinfo)
return super().list(self, request)
ViewSet
class CarViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet):
"""
Car endpoint
This endpoint has not configured keycloak roles.
That means all methods will be allowed to access.
"""
def list(self, request):
return JsonResponse({"detail": "success"}, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
APIView
class JudgementView(views.APIView):
"""
Judgement endpoint
This endpoint has configured keycloak roles only GET method.
Other HTTP methods will be allowed.
"""
keycloak_roles = {
'GET': ['judge'],
}
def get(self, request, format=None):
"""
Overwrite method
You can specify your rules inside each method
using the variable 'request.roles' that means a
list of roles that came from authenticated token.
See the following example bellow:
"""
print(request.roles)
print(request.userinfo)
return super().get(self, request)
When you don't put keycloak_roles attribute in the Views that means all methods authorizations will be allowed.
Function Based Views
When if you use api_view
decorator, you would write a very simple @keycloak_roles
decorator like this:
from django_keycloak_auth.decorators import keycloak_roles
...
@keycloak_roles(['director', 'judge', 'employee'])
@api_view(['GET'])
def loans(request):
"""
List loan endpoint
This endpoint has configured keycloak roles only
especific GET method will be accepted in api_view.
"""
return JsonResponse({"message": request.roles})
Local development
Run tests for this lib
Before everything, you must install VirtualEnv.
$ python3 -m venv env && source env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python manage.py test
Upload this package to Pypi
Warning: before you update this package, certifies if you'll change the
version in setup.py
file.
If you interested contribute to developing this project, it was prepared a tiny tutorial to install the environment before you begin:
$ python3 -m venv env && source env/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py sdist
$ twine check dist/*
$ twine upload --repository-url https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*
Run local API test using this library
- Run following command on terminal to up Keycloak docker container:
$ docker-compose up
-
Open http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser
-
Create the following steps:
realm
, client
(as confidential) and your client secret
according the settings.py file- Client Roles:
director
, judge
, employee
- Create a new user account
- Vinculate Client Roles into above user account
-
Run following command on another terminal:
$ python3 -m venv env && source env/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py sdist
$ pip install dist/*
$ python manage.py makemigrations && \
python manage.py migrate && \
python manage.py loaddata banks.json && \
python manage.py runserver
- Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
- Use Insonmina or Postman to test API's endpoints using Oauth2 as authentication mode.
