Package: django-saml2-auth-custom
Author:Cláudio GivisiezVersion:1.0.3This project aims to provide a different way to use the project made by Fang Li.Link to original project:https://github.com/fangli/django-saml2-authAuthentication into your Django powered app. Try it now, and get rid of the
complicated configuration of SAML.Any SAML2 based SSO(Single-Sign-On) identity provider with dynamic metadata
configuration is supported by this Django plugin, for example Okta.DependenciesThis plugin is compatible with Django 1.6/1.7/1.8/1.9. Thepysaml2Python
module is required.InstallYou can install this plugin viapip:# pip install django_saml2_auth_customor from source:# git clone
# cd django-saml2-auth
# python setup.py installxmlsec is also required by pysaml2:# yum install xmlsec1//or# apt-get install xmlsec1What does this plugin do?This plugin takes over Django’s login page and redirect the user to a SAML2
SSO authentication service. Once the user is logged in and redirected back,
the plugin will check if the user is already in the system. If not, the user
will be created using Django’s default UserModel, otherwise the user will be
redirected to their last visited page.How to use?Override the default login page in the root urls.py file, by adding these
linesBEFOREanyurlpatterns:# These are the SAML2 related URLs. You can change "^saml2_auth/" regex to# any path you want, like "^sso_auth/", "^sso_login/", etc. (required)url(r'^saml2_auth/',include('django_saml2_auth_custom.urls')),# The following line will replace the default user login with SAML2 (optional)url(r'^accounts/login/$','django_saml2_auth_custom.views.signin'),# The following line will replace the admin login with SAML2 (optional)url(r'^admin/login/$','django_saml2_auth_custom.views.signin'),Add ‘django_saml2_auth_custom’ to INSTALLED_APPSINSTALLED_APPS=['...','django_saml2_auth_custom',]In settings.py, add the SAML2 related configuration.Please note, the only required setting isMETADATA_AUTO_CONF_URL.
The following block shows all required and optional configuration settings
and their default values.SAML2_AUTH={# Required setting'METADATA_AUTO_CONF_URL':'[The auto(dynamic) metadata configuration URL of SAML2]',# Optional settings'NEW_USER_PROFILE':{'USER_GROUPS':[],# The default group name when a new user logs in'ACTIVE_STATUS':True,# The default active status for new users'STAFF_STATUS':True,# The staff status for new users'SUPERUSER_STATUS':False,# The superuser status for new users},'ATTRIBUTES_MAP':{# Change Email/UserName/FirstName/LastName to corresponding SAML2 userprofile attributes.'email':'Email','username':'UserName','first_name':'FirstName','last_name':'LastName',},'TRIGGER':{'CREATE_USER':'path.to.your.new.user.hook.method','BEFORE_LOGIN':'path.to.your.login.hook.method',},}In your SAML2 SSO identity provider, set the Single-sign-on URL and Audience
URI(SP Entity ID) tohttp://your-domain/saml2_auth/acs/ExplanationMETADATA_AUTO_CONF_URLAuto SAML2 metadata configuration URLNEW_USER_PROFILEDefault settings for newly created usersATTRIBUTES_MAPMapping of Django user attributes to SAML2 user attributesTRIGGERHooks to trigger additional actions during user login and creation
flows. These TRIGGER hooks are strings containing adotted module namewhich point to a method to be called. The referenced method should accept a
single argument which is a dictionary of attributes and values sent by the
identity provider, representing the user’s identity.TRIGGER.CREATE_USERA method to be called upon new user creation. This
method will be called before the new user is logged in and after the user’s
record is created. This method should accept ONE parameter of user dict.TRIGGER.BEFORE_LOGINA method to be called when an existing user logs in.
This method will be called before the user is logged in and after user
attributes are returned by the SAML2 identity provider. This method should accept ONE parameter of user dict.CustomizeThe default permissiondeniedpage and userwelcomepage can be
overridden.To override these pages put a template named ‘django_saml2_auth_custom/welcome.html’
or ‘django_saml2_auth_custom/denied.html’ in your project’s template folder.If a ‘django_saml2_auth_custom/welcome.html’ template exists, that page will be shown
to the user upon login instead of the user being redirected to the previous
visited page. This welcome page can contain some first-visit notes and welcome
words. TheDjango user objectis available within the template as theusertemplate variable.To enable a logout page, add the following lines to urls.py, before anyurlpatterns:# The following line will replace the default user logout with the signout page (optional)url(r'^accounts/logout/$','django_saml2_auth_custom.views.signout'),# The following line will replace the default admin user logout with the signout page (optional)url(r'^admin/logout/$','django_saml2_auth_custom.views.signout'),To override the built in signout page put a template named
‘django_saml2_auth_custom/signout.html’ in your project’s template folder.If your SAML2 identity provider uses user attribute names other than the
defaults listed in thesettings.pyATTRIBUTES_MAP, update them insettings.py.For Okta UsersI created this plugin originally for Okta.The METADATA_AUTO_CONF_URL needed insettings.pycan be found in the Okta
web UI by navigating to the SAML2 app’sSign Ontab, in the Settings box.
You should see :Identity Provider metadata is available if this application supports dynamic configuration.TheIdentity Provider metadatalink is the METADATA_AUTO_CONF_URL.
