django-allauth
RDMO uses the excellent django-allauth as its main authorization library. It enables workflows for user registration and password retrieval, as well as authentication from 3rd party sites using OAUTH2.
Accounts
To enable regular accounts in RDMO add:
from rdmo.core.settings import INSTALLED_APPS, AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
ACCOUNT = True
ACCOUNT_SIGNUP = True
INSTALLED_APPS += [
'allauth',
'allauth.account',
]
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS.append('allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend')
to your config/settings/local.py. The setting ACCOUNT = True enables the general django-allauth features in RDMO, while ACCOUNT_SIGNUP = True enables new users to register with your RDMO instance. The last lines enable django-allauth to be used by RDMO.
The behavior of django-allauth can be further configured by the settings documented in the django-allauth documentation. RDMO sets a few default which can be found in config/settings/base.py.
Social accounts
In order to use 3rd party accounts (facebook, github, etc.) with RDMO add:
from rdmo.core.settings import INSTALLED_APPS, AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
ACCOUNT = True
ACCOUNT_SIGNUP = True
SOCIALACCOUNT = True
INSTALLED_APPS += [
'allauth',
'allauth.account',
'allauth.socialaccount'
'allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook',
'allauth.socialaccount.providers.github',
'allauth.socialaccount.providers.google',
'allauth.socialaccount.providers.orcid',
'allauth.socialaccount.providers.twitter',
...
]
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS.append('allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend')
to your config/settings/local.py. The setting SOCIALACCOUNT = True is used by RDMO to show certain parts of the user interface connected to 3rd party accounts, while as before, the lines after INSTALLED_APPS enable the feature to be used by RDMO. Each provider has a seperate app you need to add to INSTALLED_APPS. A list of all providers supported by django-allauth can be found here.
Once the installation is complete, the credentials of your OAUTH provider need to be entered in the admin interface. This is covered in the administration chapter of this documentation.
