django-google-auth 0.2.0

google-auth support for django

django-google-auth
==================

A google auth authenticator backend for django and django rest framework.
This backend will validate the user's access token against google in every request, so that when a user has it's email removed from the domain for example, it will lose access instantly.

### Installation
```
pip install django-google-auth
```

Add google_auth to your INSTALLED_APPS
```
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'google_auth',
)
```

Include auth urls to your urls.py
```
urlpatterns = patterns(
...
(r'^google_auth/', include('google_auth.urls')),
)
```

Include google_auth.authentication.GoogleAuthBackend to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
```
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
...
"google_auth.authentication.GoogleAuthBackend",
)
```

### Settings
The settings of this app are:
- GOOGLE_AUTH_CLIENT_ID
the client id of your google app
- GOOGLE_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET
the client secret of your google app
- GOOGLE_AUTH_AUTHORIZED_DOMAINS
the email domains that are authorized to use your app (defaults to gmail.com)
- GOOGLE_AUTH_SCOPE
the scope of the authorization (defaults to "email profile")
- GOOGLE_AUTH_REDIRECT_URL
the redirect url after google authorization, must change it to some endpoint that contains some business logic of yours (defaults to "localhost:8000")

all of them must be set.

### Flow to authenticate
e.g. (assuming that urls are mounted as in the example above)
```
$ curl localhost:8000/auth/code_url
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?client_id=xxxx&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.127.0.0.1.xip.io%3A8000%2Fauth%2Fcomplete%2F&scope=email+profile&access_type=offline&response_type=code
```
User access the url from a browser and complete the login @ google, GOOGLE_AUTH_REDIRECT_URL will be called, containing the code:
e.g.
```
GOOGLE_AUTH_REDIRECT_URL/?code=xxxxxxxxx#
```
Code should then be exchanged by an app token (this will also create a Django User and register google auth and refresh token in the database for further use authenticating every request against google)
```
curl -X POST "localhost:5000/google_auth/authenticate/?code=xxxxxxxxx"
{"token": "xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "email": "[e-mail]"}
```

### Authenticating requests
After completing the above flow, to authenticate an user's request, set an Authorization header
```
Authorization: token xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

##### Rest Framework
For django rest framework, add google_auth.authentication.GoogleAuthAuthentication to REST_FRAMEWORK.DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATOR_CLASSES
```
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
...
google_auth.authentication.GoogleAuthAuthentication,
),
```
