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-sso2 using pip:

   pip install django-admin-sso2

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/

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

7. Log into the admin and add an Assignment.
