Redirection to SSO using Django

[Arun S]

Hi,

My Project, i would want to redirect login page to a SSO page.
and handle redirection in Django.

I am using Apache Server.

Whats the best way to implement this ?

i was reading about django - remoteusermiddleware but could'nt quite figure out how to handle the redirection.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers
Arun.

Hi,

You probably need to set LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL [1] to point correct url. What happens next depends your SSO tools and how they handle passing logged in user information to your app.

Don't solve what others already did for you:

The Login_redirect comes into picture when SSO redirects the Login back with a response.
But i am still unable to redirect my Login page to the Third party page using django_settings.

I tried setting LOGIN_URL but, always gets redirected to the django login page.

Basically, using Djanog, i want to open third party Login page and then get redirected back to handle the response.

Using the django_allauth package, i could see it supports most of the social accounts that can use used for redirection.
But what if i want to add a custom link within a corporate account.???

If that corporate account follows Oauth/Oauth2 then you can use the framework to write your own provider. But, if you don't plan on adding anything else down the road, it may be overkill.

 

The principle with any SSO redirect is the same though:

0) Configure at the SSO where you receive the result of the login attempt (say /login/success)

1) Redirect the login to the SSO

2) At /login/success store the data you receive and mark the user logged in.

 

The data you receive at /login/success should identify your user.

You didn't mention what SSO service you are using for authentication, but there are existing Django apps for most common  SSO services. Our campus uses CAS, and the django-cas-ng module was very easy to install and configure. Almost no custom code needed.
