django-sso-app 0.11.6

User profile management app

django-sso-app

User profile management app built upon django-allauth library and cookiecutter-django as scaffold. Optionally integrates with kong API gateway.

(This is alpha software and is under heavy development)

Tech

• python3
• django
• django-allauth
• pyjwt
• kong

Design decisions

• After login both JWT and Session Token will be sent to the requesting browser
• Single e-mail address for each user
• Django staff users (is_staff and is_superuser) must login through django admin view
• User logout on password change
• New users username is set to email
• While profile completed_at is None user can update username
• When apigateway is enabled, users with completed_at set to None are on "incomplete" group
• User login on email confirmation

Available configurations (Shapes)

1. Backend only:

   Users profile informations are saved into django project with django-sso-app installed.

   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'backend_only'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   

2. Backend + Api Gateway

   As point 1 but with an api gateway (i.e. kong) proxying authenticated requests to backend. By logging in the client receives a JWT crafted by backend with the api gateway generated secret.

   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'backend_only_apigateway'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_APIGATEWAY_HOST = 'kong'
   

3. Backend + App

   User profile informations are saved into a django-sso-app instance, all protected django projects have django-sso-app installed and configured to authenticate users by django-sso-app generated JWT. By logging in the client receives a JWT crafted by backend.

   # Backend config
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'backend_app'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ..]
   
   # App config
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'app'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   

4. Backend + App + Persistence

   As point 3 but protected projects keep user profiles aligned with django-sso-app instance.

   # Backend config
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'backend_app'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   
   # App config
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'app_persistence'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   

5. Backend + App + Api Gateway

   As point 3 but with an api gateway proxying authenticated requests to django projects.

   Protected projects authenticate users by the X-Consumer-Username header set by api gateway. By logging in the client receives a JWT crafted by backend with the api gateway generated secret. All requests to protected services are authenticated by the JWT included in cookie (or header).

   # Backend config
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'backend_app_apigateway'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_APIGATEWAY_HOST = 'http://kong:8001'
   
   # App config
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'app_apigateway'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   

6. Backend + App + Persistence + Api Gateway

   As point 5 but protected projects keep user profiles aligned with django-sso-app instance.

   # Backend config
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'backend_app_apigateway'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_APIGATEWAY_HOST = 'http://kong:8001'
   
   # App config
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_SHAPE = 'app_persistence_apigateway'
   DJANGO_SSO_APP_BACKEND_DOMAINS = ['1.accounts.domain', ...]
   

Note

Seamless switch between aforementioned configurations is mandatory in order to simplify scaling.
