Django admin SSO lets users login to Django’s administration panel using an OAuth2 provider instead of a username/password combination.

Installation

django-admin-sso is most often used with Google OAuth2 and the instructions follow that assumption. At least in theory it is possible to use a different OAuth2 provider.

  1. Make sure you have a working Django project setup.

  2. Install django-admin-sso using pip:

    pip install django-admin-sso
  3. Add admin_sso to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'admin_sso',
        ...
    )
  4. Add the django-admin authentication backend:

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
        'admin_sso.auth.DjangoSSOAuthBackend',
        'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    )
  5. Insert your OAuth2 client id and secret key into your settings file:

    DJANGO_ADMIN_SSO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID = 'your client id here'
    DJANGO_ADMIN_SSO_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET = 'your client secret here'

Navigate to Google’s Developer Console, create a new project, and create a new client ID under the menu point “APIs & AUTH”, “Credentials”. The redirect URI should be of the form http://example.com/admin/admin_sso/assignment/end/

  1. Run ./manage.py migrate to create the needed database tables.

  2. Log into the admin and add an Assignment.
