Firefox Accounts support in Kinto
Project description
Firefox Accounts support in Kinto
Kinto-fxa enables authentication in Kinto applications using Firefox Accounts OAuth2 bearer tokens.
- N.B. This project used to be called cliquet-fxa, but was renamed to
kinto-fxa following the rename of the cliquet project to kinto.
It provides:
An authentication policy class;
Integration with Kinto cache backend for token verifications;
Integration with Kinto for heartbeat view checks;
Some optional endpoints to perform the OAuth dance (optional).
Installation
As stated in the official documentation, Firefox Accounts OAuth integration is currently limited to Mozilla relying services.
Install the Python package:
pip install kinto-fxa
Include the package in the project configuration:
kinto.includes = kinto_fxa
And configure authentication policy using pyramid_multiauth formalism:
multiauth.policies = fxa multiauth.policy.fxa.use = kinto_fxa.authentication.FxAOAuthAuthenticationPolicy
By default, it will rely on the cache configured in Kinto.
Configuration
Fill those settings with the values obtained during the application registration:
fxa-oauth.client_id = 89513028159972bc fxa-oauth.client_secret = 9aced230585cc0aaea0a3467dd800 fxa-oauth.oauth_uri = https://oauth-stable.dev.lcip.org/v1 fxa-oauth.requested_scope = profile kinto fxa-oauth.required_scope = kinto fxa-oauth.webapp.authorized_domains = * # fxa-oauth.cache_ttl_seconds = 300 # fxa-oauth.state.ttl_seconds = 3600
In case the application shall not behave as a relier (a.k.a. OAuth dance endpoints disabled):
fxa-oauth.relier.enabled = false
If necessary, override default values for authentication policy:
# multiauth.policy.fxa.realm = Realm
Handling multiple FxA clients
If you want to isolate data between two FxA apps using the same Kinto service to sync their data you can define client specific configuration:
fxa-oauth.clients.notes.client_id = 89513028159972bc fxa-oauth.clients.notes.required_scope = profile app-notes fxa-oauth.clients.todo.client_id = 1805184631529d5a fxa-oauth.clients.todo.required_scope = profile app-todo
Depending on the requested scopes, Kinto Fxa will assign a user id or another (using a suffix):
fxa:{user_id}-notes for the former
fxa:{user_id}-todo for the later
Note that you can still use fxa:{user_id} to explicitely share data between apps for a given FxA user.
If you don’t give any specific permission, it will be impossible for someone logged in in with the app-notes scope in their Bearer token to access the todo app data.
The default buckets will also be isolated, one for notes and one for todo.
Login flow
OAuth Bearer token
Use the OAuth token with this header:
Authorization: Bearer <oauth_token>
- notes:
If the token is not valid, this will result in a 401 error response.
Obtain token using Web UI
Navigate the client to GET /fxa-oauth/login?redirect=http://app-endpoint/#. There, a session cookie will be set, and the client will be redirected to a login form on the FxA content server;
After submitting the credentials on the login page, the client will be redirected to http://app-endpoint/#{token} (the web-app).
Obtain token custom flow
The GET /v1/fxa-oauth/params endpoint can be use to get the configuration in order to trade the Firefox Accounts BrowserID with a Bearer Token. See Firefox Account documentation about this behavior

Scripts
The kinto-fxa library installs a kinto-fxa command which is used to run utility scripts that come with the kinto-fxa plugin. Right now the only one is process-account-events, which listens to an Amazon SQS queue for account deletion events and tries to delete a user’s data to comply with GDPR.
These scripts have some additional dependencies; you may need to pip install kinto-fxa[scripts] to install them.
To use them, run kinto-fxa [script-name] [arguments].
