Documentation

• This package will create a view called authomatic-handler where you can login with different providers

• The view can be used as well to add an identity from a provider to an existing account

• The provider is choosen in the URL so if you call /authomatic-handler/PROVIDER you will use PROVIDER to login

• You can set the JSON configuration of the plugin in the Controlpanel @@authomatic-controlpanel (linked under users)

• Example JSON configuration (first level key is the PROVIDER:

  {
      "github": {
          "display": {
              "title": "Github",
              "cssclasses": {
                  "button": "plone-btn plone-btn-default",
                  "icon": "glypicon glyphicon-github"
              },
              "as_form": false
          },
          "propertymap": {
              "email": "email",
              "link": "home_page",
              "location": "location",
              "name": "fullname"
          },
          "class_": "authomatic.providers.oauth2.GitHub",
          "consumer_key": "5c4901d141e736f114a7",
          "consumer_secret": "d4692ca3c0ab6cc1f8b28d3ccb1ea15b61e7ef5c",
          "access_headers": {
              "User-Agent": "Plone Authomatic Plugin"
          }
      },
  }

Installation

Install pas.plugins.authomatic by adding it to your buildout:

[buildout]

 ...

 eggs =
     pas.plugins.authomatic

and then running “bin/buildout”.

Start Plone and activate the plugin in the addons control-panel.

Go to the Authomatic controlpanel (security section) and configure the plugin.

Configuration parameters for the different authorization are provided as JSON text in there. JSON is used because of flexibility. Details at Authomatics provider section.

There are some differences in configuration:

• the value of "class_" has to be a string, which is then resolved as a dotted path.

• each provider can get an optional entry display with sub-enties such as:

  • title which is used in the templates instead of the section name.

  • iconclasses which is applied in the templates to an span.

  • buttonclasses which is applied in the templates to the button.

  • as_form (true/false) which renders a form for OpenId providers.

• each provider can get an optional entry propertymap. It is a mapping from authomatic/provider user properties to plone user properties, like "fullname": "name",. Look at each providers documentation which properties are available.
