Database-backed settings for mozilla-django-oidc, with modified unique identifiers

2 Features

  • Thin layer on top of mozilla-django-oidc

  • Allows configuration of OpenID Connect variables via django-solo

  • Overrides mozilla-django-oidc default behaviour, using the sub claim instead of the email claim as unique identifier for users

mozilla-django-oidc-db provides a database singleton for several configuration variables required for mozilla-django-oidc, moving them from deploy-time to run-time. This enables modification of the configuration, without having to restart the application.

Additionally, mozilla-django-oidc-db by default uses the sub (subject) claim instead of the email claim as the unique identifier for users in the RP (Relying Party) application. Using email as the unique identifier is not recommended, as mentioned in the OpenID Connect specification.

3 Installation

3.1 Requirements

  • Python 3.7 or above

  • setuptools 30.3.0 or above

  • Django 2.2 or newer

  • PostgreSQL

3.2 Install

pip install mozilla-django-oidc-db

This will also install the following packages:

  • mozilla-django-oidc

  • django-solo

  • psycopg2

  • django-better-admin-arrayfield

3.3 Django settings

Make sure the following libraries are added to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "django_better_admin_arrayfield",
    "django_auth_adfs",
    "django_auth_adfs_db",
    "solo",
    ...
]

Add mozilla_django_oidc_db.backends.OIDCAuthenticationBackend to the AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS, this backend replaces mozilla_django_oidc.auth.OIDCAuthenticationBackend:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    ...
    "mozilla_django_oidc_db.backends.OIDCAuthenticationBackend",
    ...
]

Ensure that LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL and LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL are configured. For example:

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = reverse_lazy("admin:index")
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = reverse_lazy("admin:index")

To enable validation of ID tokens by renewing them, add mozilla_django_oidc_db.middleware.SessionRefresh to the middleware, this middleware replaces mozilla_django_oidc.middleware.SessionRefresh:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # middleware involving session and authentication must come first
    ...
    "mozilla_django_oidc_db.middleware.SessionRefresh",
    ...
]

Furthermore, ensure the following settings are configured:

OIDC_AUTHENTICATE_CLASS = "mozilla_django_oidc_db.views.OIDCAuthenticationRequestView"
MOZILLA_DJANGO_OIDC_DB_CACHE = "oidc"
MOZILLA_DJANGO_OIDC_DB_CACHE_TIMEOUT = 1

MOZILLA_DJANGO_OIDC_DB_CACHE is used to cache the configuration that is stored in the database, to prevent a lot of database lookups. Ensure this cache is configured in CACHES (using the backend of choice):

CACHES = {
    "default": {"BACKEND": "django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache"},
    ...
    "oidc": {"BACKEND": "django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache"},
}

Add the urlpatterns:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path("oidc/", include("mozilla_django_oidc.urls")),
    ...
]

Add the login link to your templates:

{% get_solo 'mozilla_django_oidc_db.OpenIDConnectConfig' as oidc_config %}
{% if oidc_config.enabled %}
<div class="submit-row">
    <a href="{% url 'oidc_authentication_init' %}">{% trans "Login with OIDC" %}</a>
</div>
{% endif %}

4 Usage

Now OpenID Connect can be enabled/disabled via the admin (disabled by default) and the following settings for OpenID Connect can be configured in the admin:

  • oidc_rp_client_id

  • oidc_rp_client_secret

  • oidc_rp_sign_algo

  • oidc_rp_scopes_list

  • oidc_op_jwks_endpoint

  • oidc_op_authorization_endpoint

  • oidc_op_token_endpoint

  • oidc_op_user_endpoint

  • oidc_rp_idp_sign_key

In case no value is provided for one of these variables, the default from mozilla-django-oidc will be used (if there is one). A detailed description of all settings can be found in the mozilla-django-oidc settings documentation

For more detailed documentation, refer to the mozilla-django-oidc documentation. In this documentation the origin of the admin configurable settings is also explained.
