  • SSO_REMOTE_URL_PREFIX (optional): SSO path in remote SSO provider. default /sso/

  • SSO_USER_STORAGE``(optional): SSOUser storage solution, there are 2 storage backends in ``dj-sso-client already. default: SSOUserDBStorage

    • djssoclient.userstorage.SSOUserDBStorage: store user data in database

    • djssoclient.userstorage.SSOUserCacheStorage: store user data in cache. You will get better performance.

  • SSO_SETTING_CACHE (optional): if you selected SSOUserCacheStorage as your user storage backend, and you have more than one cache in settings.py, you can pick up the cache name here. default: default

Attention: SSOUserCacheStorage

The default django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache stores data per process. In multi-process production environment (gunicorn on multi-core server), it may cause problem while using SSOUserCacheStorage as your user storage engine.

Please use dedicate cache system (Memcached or Redis) as cache backend to avoid this problem.

SSOUser

SSOUser is the user model to store user data. It can be used as database model class if you selected SSOUserDBStorage to be your user storage engine.

class SSOUser(AbstractBaseUser):
    username = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=50)
    extras = models.TextField(default="{}")
    ...

extra user attributes : attributes not exists in the SSOUser class. (attributes except username, password, last_login etc.)

All extra user attributes can be access by getattr method or . operator. And they are stored in class member extras in JSON format.
