| Setting | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
MAGICSSO_ALLOWED_ORIGINS |
No | [] |
Optional allowlist of absolute origins accepted when deriving the current site origin dynamically, especially behind trusted proxies. |
MAGICSSO_AUTH_EVERYWHERE |
Yes | None | When True, unauthenticated requests to non-public routes redirect to login. |
MAGICSSO_COOKIE_DOMAIN |
No | None |
Optional cookie domain used when the Django app stores the returned JWT. |
MAGICSSO_COOKIE_MAX_AGE |
No | None |
Optional persistent cookie lifetime in seconds for the Django-managed auth cookie. Set it to match or stay below the server JWT expiration. |
MAGICSSO_COOKIE_NAME |
Yes | None | Required at app startup. Should match the server cookie name. |
MAGICSSO_COOKIE_PATH |
No | / |
Optional path scope for the Django-managed auth cookie. Narrowing it can make auth unavailable outside that subtree. |
MAGICSSO_COOKIE_SAMESITE |
No | Lax |
Explicit SameSite policy for the Django-managed auth cookie. Must be one of Lax, Strict, or None. |
MAGICSSO_COOKIE_SECURE |
No | True |
Controls the Secure flag on the Django-managed auth cookie. |
MAGICSSO_DIRECT_USE |
Yes | None | When True, the login view redirects straight to the SSO server instead of rendering the local form. |
MAGICSSO_JWT_SECRET |
Yes | None | Required at app startup. Must match the server JWT secret. |
MAGICSSO_PREVIEW_SECRET |
Yes | None | Required at app startup. Used by /sso/verify-email/ to preview the email token before exchange. Must match the server preview secret. |
MAGICSSO_PUBLIC_ORIGIN |
No | None |
Explicit origin used for site-bound JWT audience checks. Recommended unless you intentionally rely on trusted proxy headers. |
MAGICSSO_PUBLIC_URLS |
No | ['login'] |
Public Django URL names that bypass auth middleware. |
MAGICSSO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT |
No | 5 |
Timeout in seconds for requests from Django to the SSO server. |
MAGICSSO_SERVER_URL |
Yes | None | Required at app startup. Base URL of the SSO server and expected issuer for site-bound auth tokens. |
MAGICSSO_TRUST_PROXY |
No | False |
Only enable this with a reverse proxy that sanitizes forwarded headers. When enabled without MAGICSSO_PUBLIC_ORIGIN, configure MAGICSSO_ALLOWED_ORIGINS. |
The package validates MAGICSSO_JWT_SECRET, MAGICSSO_PREVIEW_SECRET,
MAGICSSO_SERVER_URL, MAGICSSO_COOKIE_NAME, MAGICSSO_COOKIE_SAMESITE,
MAGICSSO_COOKIE_PATH, and the proxy/origin trust settings during app startup
so configuration mistakes fail fast.
Auth tokens are site-bound. The middleware and built-in /sso/verify-email/
view verify the returned token against the current Django origin and the SSO
server issuer. Upgrading to this release invalidates older session cookies that
were issued without siteId/aud/iss, so users need to sign in again after
deployment.
Keep USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = False unless Django is only reachable through a
trusted proxy that overwrites forwarded headers. If you do enable
USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST, set MAGICSSO_TRUST_PROXY = True and configure either
MAGICSSO_PUBLIC_ORIGIN or a strict MAGICSSO_ALLOWED_ORIGINS allowlist so
site-bound JWT audience checks stay anchored to trusted origins.
Basic integration
- Add
'magic_sso_django'toINSTALLED_APPS. - Add
'magic_sso_django.middleware.MagicSsoMiddleware'toMIDDLEWARE. - Include
path('sso/', include('magic_sso_django.urls'))inurls.py. - Configure the required
MAGICSSO_*settings.
Keep Django's CsrfViewMiddleware enabled and submit logout through a POST form
with {% csrf_token %}. The built-in /sso/logout/ view is POST-only.
Verified requests expose both request.magic_sso_user_email and
request.magic_sso_user_scope, and the decoded JWT payload now includes
siteId for site-bound authorization checks. The built-in /sso/login/ view
also accepts an optional scope query or form field and forwards it to the SSO
server.
If the server enables [auth.otp], the packaged login form renders a single OTP
field after sign-in. Its CSRF-protected /sso/verify-email/otp/ view exchanges
the code server-side, validates the returned JWT, and sets the normal HTTP-only
cookie.
