OIDC for FastAPI

OpenID Connect Plugin for FastAPI

fastapi-simple-oidc is a simple, configurable plugin for enabling OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication in a FastAPI application. It supports multiple identity providers, session management, and callbacks for handling login and logout events.

Features

• OpenID Connect (OIDC) integration for authentication.
• Support for popular Identity Providers like Google, Microsoft, Apple, GitLab, Salesforce, and IBM.
• Support for any custom OIDC backend.
• Easy provider discovery using .well-known/openid-configuration.
• Session-based user management using SessionMiddleware.
• Callbacks for on_login and on_logout to customize user handling behavior.
• Pre-built routes for login, logout, user information, and provider discovery.
• Extendable to additional identity providers.

Installation

pip install fastapi-simple-oidc

Quick Start

Here’s a quick guide to get you started with FastAPI and OIDC.

1. Setup your FastAPI application

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_oidc import OIDC

app = FastAPI()

# Create an OIDC instance
oidc = OIDC(
    app=app,
    secret_key="your-session-secret",  # A secure key for the application session
    login_url='/login',                # Optional: Redirect URL for login page
    redirect_url='/dashboard'          # Optional: URL to redirect to after login
)

# Register OIDC routes
app.include_router(oidc.router)

---

2. Configure Identity Providers

Identity provider configurations must be set using environment variables or configuration files.

Environment Variable Example:

SSO_GOOGLE_ID=<google-client-id>
SSO_GOOGLE_SECRET=<google-client-secret>

SSO_MICROSOFT_ID=<microsoft-client-id>
SSO_MICROSOFT_SECRET=<microsoft-client-secret>
SSO_GOOGLE_NAME=Custom Google Name  # Optional: Display name for Google

# also Custom Provider
SSO_CUSTOM_ID=
SSO_CUSTOM_SECRET=
SSO_CUSTOM_URL=
SSO_CUSTOM_NAME=

Built-in Identity Providers

The library supports the following providers out of the box, you don't need to specify NAME and URL

• Google
• Microsoft
• Apple
• GitLab
• Salesforce
• IBM

3. Add Login and Logout Callbacks (Optional)

You can define custom logic that runs after login or logout events using the on_login and on_logout decorators.

from fastapi_oidc import OpenID

@oidc.on_login
def handle_login(user: OpenID):
    print(f"User logged in: {user.name} ({user.email})")

@oidc.on_logout
def handle_logout(user: OpenID):
    print(f"User logged out: {user.email}")

---

4. Secure Your Routes with Authentication

Use the get_logged_user dependency to secure your endpoints and access the currently authorized user.

from fastapi_oidc import get_logged_user, OpenID

@app.get("/protected")
async def protected_endpoint(user: OpenID = Depends(get_logged_user)):
    return {"message": f"Welcome {user.name}", "email": user.email}

Exception raised for unauthorized users:

• 401 Unauthorized: If the user is not authenticated.

---

5. Test the Integration

Visit the built-in test page at the /.test route to verify the setup:

• List all available Identity Providers.
• Attempt login/logout.
• Check the current session.

Routes

The plugin automatically registers the following routes:

Route	Description
/<provider>/login	Login redirection page.
/<provider>/callback	OIDC callback
/logout	Clears the session and logs the user out.
/me	Returns the details of the currently logged-in user. Uses get_logged_user.
/providers	Lists all available identity providers.
/.test	A pre-built test page to test your OIDC configuration.

Each Identity Provider will also have its own login and callback routes under <provider>/login and <provider>/callback.

---

Environment Variables Reference

The following environment variables can be set to configure available identity providers:

Variable	Required	Description
SSO_<PROVIDER>_ID	Yes	The client ID for the identity provider.
SSO_<PROVIDER>_SECRET	Yes	The client secret for the identity provider.
SSO_<PROVIDER>_URL	Only if not a default provider	The OpenID Connect discovery URL of the identity provider.
SSO_<PROVIDER>_NAME	No	Custom display name for the provider in /providers.

---

Extending

Add New Providers

You can integrate custom providers by adding their configuration into environment variables as shown earlier. The package uses the .well-known/openid-configuration standard to fetch OpenID Connect metadata, so the provider needs to follow this specification.

---

Example App

Here’s an example app using Google as an Identity Provider:

from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends
from fastapi_oidc import OIDC, get_logged_user, OpenID

app = FastAPI()

oidc = OIDC(
    app=app,
    secret_key="random-secret-key",
    login_url='/login',
    redirect_url='/dashboard'
)

# Register OIDC routes
app.include_router(oidc.router)

# Secure route
@app.get("/dashboard")
async def dashboard(user: OpenID = Depends(get_logged_user)):
    return {"message": f"Hello, {user.name}!", "email": user.email}

@oidc.on_login
def handle_login(user: OpenID):
    print(f"User logged in: {user.email}")

@oidc.on_logout
def handle_logout(user: OpenID):
    print(f"User logged out: {user.email}")

Supported Defaults

When using the default providers, you don’t need to define URLs; they are managed internally.
