deprecated! see kinto-fxa instead. was: Firefox Accounts support in Cliquet
Project description
Deprecation Notice
With the rename of cliquet to kinto.core, this package is no longer supported. Please upgrade to kinto-fxa instead!
Firefox Accounts support in Cliquet
Cliquet-fxa enables authentication in Cliquet applications using Firefox Accounts OAuth2 bearer tokens.
It provides:
An authentication policy class;
Integration with Cliquet cache backend for token verifications;
Integration with Cliquet for heartbeat view checks;
Some optional endpoints to perform the OAuth dance (optional).
Installation
As stated in the official documentation, Firefox Accounts OAuth integration is currently limited to Mozilla relying services.
Install the Python package:
pip install cliquet-fxa
Include the package in the project configuration:
cliquet.includes = cliquet_fxa
And configure authentication policy using pyramid_multiauth formalism:
multiauth.policies = fxa
By default, it will rely on the cache configured in Cliquet.
Configuration
Fill those settings with the values obtained during the application registration:
fxa-oauth.client_id = 89513028159972bc fxa-oauth.client_secret = 9aced230585cc0aaea0a3467dd800 fxa-oauth.oauth_uri = https://oauth-stable.dev.lcip.org fxa-oauth.requested_scope = profile kinto fxa-oauth.required_scope = kinto fxa-oauth.webapp.authorized_domains = *.firefox.com # fxa-oauth.cache_ttl_seconds = 300 # fxa-oauth.state.ttl_seconds = 3600
In case the application shall not behave as a relier (a.k.a. OAuth dance endpoints disabled):
fxa-oauth.relier.enabled = false
If necessary, override default values for authentication policy:
# multiauth.policy.fxa.realm = Realm # multiauth.policy.fxa.use = cliquet_fxa.authentication.FxAOAuthAuthenticationPolicy
Login flow
OAuth Bearer token
Use the OAuth token with this header:
Authorization: Bearer <oauth_token>
- notes:
If the token is not valid, this will result in a 401 error response.
Obtain token using Web UI
Navigate the client to GET /fxa-oauth/login?redirect=http://app-endpoint/#. There, a session cookie will be set, and the client will be redirected to a login form on the FxA content server;
After submitting the credentials on the login page, the client will be redirected to http://app-endpoint/#{token} (the web-app).
Obtain token custom flow
The GET /v1/fxa-oauth/params endpoint can be use to get the configuration in order to trade the Firefox Accounts BrowserID with a Bearer Token. See Firefox Account documentation about this behavior
