Simple package for creating and signing users into your Django site using Salesforce as an OAuth provider

Project description

Quick start

Assuming you've already configured an app in your Salesforce instance to serve as an OAuth provider, the following should get you up and running.

Install

pip install django-salesforce-oauth

Settings

Add the app to your INSTALLED_APPS in your django settings (settings.py):

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "django_salesforce_oauth",
]

Add the following required variables to your settings.py:

SCOPES = "YOUR SCOPES"  # space delimited, e.g., "id api refresh_token"
SFDC_CONSUMER_KEY = "YOUR KEY"
SFDC_CONSUMER_SECRET = "YOUR SECRET"
OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI = "{YOUR DOMAIN}/oauth/callback/"

# Optional, but Django provides a default you likely don't want
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = "/"

Urls

Add django-salesforce-oauth's urls to your main urls.py.

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path("oauth/", include("django_salesforce_oauth.urls")),
]

Then redirect sign-in requests to the oauth namespace.

View example

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def your_view(request):
    return redirect("oauth")  # or "oauth-sandbox"

Template example

<a href="{% url 'oauth' %}" class="btn btn-primary">Login</a>

Advanced usage

Custom callback

You likely will want to customize what happens after the OAuth flow is complete instead of simply getting or creating a user. This can be done by specifying the following in your settings.py.

CUSTOM_CALLBACK = "path.to.module.your_callback_function"

your_callback_function must accept the following two arguments:

  1. the request object (useful in case you want to handle redirection yourself)
  2. the OAuth object (contains all token and user data)

If you send the user to the oauth view with a query parameter called state, then you must provide a third, optional argument to your custom callback function.

  1. the state parameter. Only requered if you redirect to oauth with ?state=value in your query params.

An example signature is:

def your_callback_function(request, oauth, state=None):
    ...

If you do not return a redirect from your_callback_function, it's expected it will return a user object. In this case the user will then be signed in and redirected to settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL (which you'll most likely want to set in your settings.py).

Customizing the callback URI

By default the view behind the oauth-callback namespace, specified in the django_salesforce_oauth's app's urls.py, is what needs to match settings.OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI. But this can be customized by pointing it to some other url and registering the view wherever you'd like it declared.

# urls.py

from django_salesforce_oauth.views import oauth_callback

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    # pass {"domain": "test"} to use a sandbox
    path("my/custom/url", oauth_callback, {"domain": "login"}, name="custom-oauth-callback"),
]

Example project

The example project provides a full example of how to use this package, but since it's an integration, there's a few steps to actually running it.

SFDC

Configure a SFDC OAuth app with which you can OAuth against.

.env

Place a .env file inside the project folder that contains the following keys from the OAuth app you configured above:

SFDC_CONSUMER_KEY=some_key
SFDC_CONSUMER_SECRET=secret_stuff

django

run migrations and start the server!


This project uses poetry for dependency management and packaging.
