py-identity-model 0.7.0

OIDC helper library

py-identity-model

WIP - OIDC helper library. This project is very immature and rough, so check back in periodically as more features and documentation are added.

Inspired By:

• IdentityModel
• cognitojwt

Examples

Discovery

Only a subset of fields is currently mapped.

import os

from py_identity_model import DiscoveryDocumentRequest, get_discovery_document

DISCO_ADDRESS = os.environ["DISCO_ADDRESS"]
    
disco_doc_request = DiscoveryDocumentRequest(address=DISCO_ADDRESS)
disco_doc_response = get_discovery_document(disco_doc_request)    
print(disco_doc_response)

JWKs

import os

from py_identity_model import (
	DiscoveryDocumentRequest, 
   	get_discovery_document,
    JwksRequest, 
    get_jwks,
)

DISCO_ADDRESS = os.environ["DISCO_ADDRESS"]
    
disco_doc_request = DiscoveryDocumentRequest(address=DISCO_ADDRESS)
disco_doc_response = get_discovery_document(disco_doc_request)  

jwks_request = JwksRequest(address=disco_doc_response.jwks_uri)
jwks_response = get_jwks(jwks_request)
print(jwks_response)

Basic Token Validation

Token validation validates the signature of a JWT against the values provided from an OIDC discovery document. The function will throw an exception if the token is expired or signature validation fails.

Token validation is simply a wrapper on top of the jose.jwt.decode. The configuration object is mapped to the input parameters of jose.jwt.decode.

@dataclass
class TokenValidationConfig:
    perform_disco: bool
    key: Optional[dict] = None
    audience: Optional[str] = None
    algorithms: Optional[List[str]] = None
    issuer: Optional[List[str]] = None
    subject: Optional[str] = None
    options: Optional[dict] = None

import os

from py_identity_model import PyIdentityModelException, validate_token

DISCO_ADDRESS = os.environ["DISCO_ADDRESS"]

token = get_token() # Get the token in the manner best suited to your application

validation_options = {
	"verify_signature": True,
     "verify_aud": True,
     "verify_iat": True,
     "verify_exp": True,
     "verify_nbf": True,
     "verify_iss": True,
     "verify_sub": True,
     "verify_jti": True,
     "verify_at_hash": True,
     "require_aud": False,
     "require_iat": False,
     "require_exp": False,
     "require_nbf": False,
     "require_iss": False,
     "require_sub": False,
     "require_jti": False,
     "require_at_hash": False,
     "leeway": 0,
}

validation_config = TokenValidationConfig(
     perform_disco=True,
     audience=TEST_AUDIENCE,
     options=validation_options
)

claims = validate_token(jwt=token, disco_doc_address=DISCO_ADDRESS)
print(claims)

Token Generation

The only current supported flow is the client_credentials flow. Load configuration parameters in the method your application supports. Environment variables are used here for demonstration purposes.

Example:

import os

from py_identity_model import (
    ClientCredentialsTokenRequest,
    request_client_credentials_token,
    get_discovery_document,
    DiscoveryDocumentRequest,
)

DISCO_ADDRESS = os.environ["DISCO_ADDRESS"]
CLIENT_ID = os.environ["CLIENT_ID"]
CLIENT_SECRET = os.environ["CLIENT_SECRET"]
SCOPE = os.environ["SCOPE"]

disco_doc_response = get_discovery_document(
    DiscoveryDocumentRequest(address=DISCO_ADDRESS)
)

client_creds_req = ClientCredentialsTokenRequest(
	client_id=CLIENT_ID,
    client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET,
    address=disco_doc_response.token_endpoint,
    scope=SCOPE,
)
client_creds_token = request_client_credentials_token(client_creds_req)
print(client_creds_token)

Roadmap

These are in no particular order of importance. I am working on this project to bring a library as capable as IdentityModel to the Python ecosystem and will most likely focus on the needful and most used features first.

• Protocol abstractions and constants
• Discovery Endpoint
• Token Endpoint
• Token Introspection Endpoint
• Token Revocation Endpoint
• UserInfo Endpoint
• Dynamic Client Registration
• Device Authorization Endpoint
• Token Validation
• Example integrations with popular providers
• Example middleware implementations for Flask and FastApi
• async Support
• Setup documentation
