Deno 2.2 Improves Dependency Management and Expands Node.js Compatibility
Deno 2.2 enhances Node.js compatibility, improves dependency management, adds OpenTelemetry support, and expands linting and task automation for developers.
This library allow Single Sign On (SSO) integration into Django through the Open ID Connect (OIDC) protocol.
It can be used to setup a Single Sign On using an identity provider (Keycloak, etc.) or to login using Google, Twitter, etc.
Warning : this library has not been audited. However, we are based on pyoidc which we believe is a sane OIDC implementation.

authentication support for django-rest-framework
integrationThis library is built on the work of many others. First all, thanks to all the maintainers of pyoidc as they did all the spec implementation. This library is mostly about glue between Django and pyoidc.
We were also heavily inspired by :
mozilla-django-oidc
for it's login redirection URI managementdjango-auth-oidc
for it's hook systemIf you want to understand why we decided to implement our own library, this is documented here.
The documentation is graciously hosted at readthedocs.
First, install the python package :
pip install makina-django-doic
Then add the library app to your django applications, after django.contrib.sessions
and django.contrib.auth
:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
"django.contrib.auth",
"django.contrib.sessions",
...
"django-pyoidc"
]
Don't forget to add the session middleware ! Add in your settings.py
:
MIDDLEWARE = [
"django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware",
]
Now is time to run a migrate operation, as we create a database table (read why here). Run in your project dir :
./manage.py migrate
We also need a cache (read why here), so let's configure a dumb one for development purposes. Add in your settings.py
:
CACHES = {
"default": {
"BACKEND": "django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache",
"LOCATION": "unique-snowflake",
}
}
Now you can pick an identity provider from the available providers. Providers class are a quick way to generate the library configuration and URLs for a givenv identity provider. You can also use [manual set] if you wish.
Create a file named oidc.py
next to your settings file and initialize your provider there :
from django_pyoidc.providers.keycloak import KeycloakProvider
my_oidc_provider = KeycloakProvider(
op_name="keycloak",
client_secret="s3cret",
client_id="my_client_id",
keycloak_base_uri="http://keycloak.local:8080/auth/", # we use the auth/ path prefix option on Keycloak
keycloak_realm="Demo",
logout_redirect="http://app.local:8082/",
failure_redirect="http://app.local:8082/",
success_redirect="http://app.local:8082/",
redirect_requires_https=False,
)
You can then add to your django configuration the following line :
from .oidc_providers import my_oidc_provider
DJANGO_PYOIDC = {
**my_oidc_provider.get_config(allowed_hosts=["app.local:8082"]),
}
Finally, add OIDC views to your url configuration (urls.py
):
from .oidc_providers import my_oidc_provider
urlpatterns = [
path("auth", include(my_oidc_provider.get_urlpatterns())),
]
And you are ready to go !
If you struggle with those instructions, take a look at the quickstart tutorial.
We wrote an extensive collection of 'how-to' guides in the documentation.
