xorgauth handles authentication / authorization for Polytechnique.org-related services.

• Login with any alumni email address
• OpenID Connect v1.0 provider
• Legacy auth-groupe-x authentication provider
• Multiple authentication levels (cookie, password, two-factor)

Run the following commands in order to setup a development environment on a local computer:

make update
make createdb
make
python manage.py createsuperuser --fullname me --hrid me --preferred_name me --main_email [email protected]
python manage.py importaccounts scripts/dev_data.json
python manage.py importauthgroupex scripts/dev_data.json
python manage.py runserver
# Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to configure django-oidc-provider

In such a development environment, in order to use the test relying party:

• run python manage.py shell and add a client:

  from oidc_provider.models import Client, ResponseType
  c = Client(name='Test RP', client_id='123456', redirect_uris=['http://localhost:8000/test-relying-party/','http://127.0.0.1:8000/test-relying-party/'])
  c.save()
  c.response_types.add(ResponseType.objects.get(value='id_token token'))

• run python manage.py runserver 8000
• open http://localhost:8000/test-relying-party/ in a web browser and click on the log in button

On Debian, configure a web server (Apache, ngninx, etc.) to serve Django applications (using uwsgi, mod_wsgi, etc.) by reading the documents relevant to these systems. It is a good idea to use a dedicated Python virtual environment.

In order to configure the production application, copy example_settings.ini to local_settings.ini and edit this new file accordingly (DNS hostname, admin email address, database credentials, etc.). It is also possible to use environment variables to give some settings to the Django application (thanks to getconf). It is then possible to initialize the database with:

make createdb

Here are instructions specific to xorgauth application for upgrading:

make update
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic
# Recompile the translation files
make

• Use https://testpypi.python.org/pypi/django-zxcvbn-password/2.0.0 for password entry
• As a provider, return a list of "group access levels" + "role-based permissions"

• Documentation:

  • https://django-oidc-provider.readthedocs.io/ for the identity provider
  • https://mozilla-django-oidc.readthedocs.io/ in order to configure a test relying party (client)
