A plug-and-play client for integrating universal single sign-on (SSO) with Python frameworks, enabling secure and seamless authentication across microservices.

Project description

🛡️ USSO Python Client SDK

The USSO Python Client SDK (usso) provides a universal, secure JWT authentication layer for Python microservices and web frameworks.
It’s designed to integrate seamlessly with the USSO Identity Platform — or any standards-compliant token issuer.


🔗 Relationship to the USSO Platform

This SDK is the official verification client for the USSO identity service, which provides multi-tenant authentication, RBAC, token flows, and more.
You can use the SDK with:

  • Self-hosted USSO via Docker
  • Any identity provider that issues signed JWTs (with proper config)

✨ Features

  • Token verification for EdDSA, RS256, HS256, and more
  • Claim validation (exp, nbf, aud, iss)
  • Remote JWK support for key rotation
  • Typed payload parsing via UserData (Pydantic)
  • Token extraction from:
    • Authorization header
    • Cookies
    • Custom headers
  • FastAPI integration with dependency injection
  • Django middleware for request-based user resolution
  • 🧪 90% tested with pytest and tox

📦 Installation

pip install usso

With framework extras:

pip install "usso[fastapi]"     # for FastAPI integration
pip install "usso[django]"      # for Django integration

🚀 Quick Start (FastAPI)

from usso.fastapi.integration import get_authenticator
from usso.schemas import JWTConfig, JWTHeaderConfig, UserData
from usso.jwt.enums import Algorithm

config = JWTConfig(
    key="your-ed25519-public-key",
    issuer="https://sso.example.com",
    audience="api.example.com",
    type=Algorithm.EdDSA,
    header=JWTHeaderConfig(type="Authorization")
)

authenticator = get_authenticator(config)

@app.get("/me")
def get_me(user: UserData = Depends(authenticator)):
    return {"user_id": user.sub, "roles": user.roles}

🐳 Integrate with USSO (Docker)

Run your own identity provider:

docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/ussoio/usso:latest

Then configure your app to verify tokens issued by this service, using its public JWKS endpoint:

JWTConfig(
    jwk_url="http://localhost:8000/.well-known/jwks.json",
    ...
)
