NAME
Jifty::Plugin::OpenID - Provides OpenID authentication for your jifty app
DESCRIPTION
Provides OpenID authentication for your app
USAGE
Config
please provide "OpenIDSecret" in your etc/config.yml , the "OpenIDUA" is optional , OpenID Plugin will use LWPx::ParanoidAgent by default.
---application:OpenIDSecret: 1234OpenIDUA: LWP::UserAgent
or you can set "OpenIDUserAgent" environment var in command-line:
OpenIDUserAgent=LWP::UserAgent bin/jifty server
if you are using LWPx::ParanoidAgent as your openid agent. you will need to provide "JIFTY_OPENID_WHITELIST_HOST" for your own OpenID server.
export JIFTY_OPENID_WHITELIST_HOST=123.123.123.123
User Model
Create your user model , and let it uses Jifty::Plugin::OpenID::Mixin::Model::User to mixin "openid" column. and a "name" method.
use TestApp::Record schema {column email =>type is 'varchar';};use Jifty::Plugin::OpenID::Mixin::Model::User;sub name {my $self = shift;return $self->email;}
Note: you might need to declare a "name" method. because the OpenID CreateOpenIDUser action and SkeletonApp needs current_user->username to show welcome message and success message , which calls "brief_description" method. See Jifty::Record for "brief_description" method.
View
OpenID plugin provides AuthenticateOpenID Action. so that you can render an AuthenticateOpenID in your template:
form {my $openid = new_action( class => 'AuthenticateOpenID',moniker => 'authenticateopenid' );render_action( $openid );};
this action renders a form which provides openid url field. and you will need to provide a submit button in your form.
form {my $openid = new_action( class => 'AuthenticateOpenID',moniker => 'authenticateopenid' );# ....render_action( $openid );outs_raw(Jifty->web->return(to => '/openid_verify_done',label => _("Login with OpenID"),submit => $openid));};
the "to" field is for verified user to redirect to. so that you will need to implement a template called "/openid_verify_done":
template '/openid_verify_done' => page {h1 { "Done" };};
Attribute Exchange
You can retrieve information from remote profile on authentication server with
OpenID Attribute Exchange service extension.
Set in your config.yml
- OpenID:ax_param: openid.ns.ax=http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0&openid.ax.mode=fetch_request&openid.ax.type.email=http://axschema.org/contact/email&openid.ax.type.firstname=http://axschema.org/namePerson/first&openid.ax.type.lastname=http://axschema.org/namePerson/last&openid.ax.required=firstname,lastname,emailax_values: value.email,value.firstname,value.lastnameax_mapping: "{ 'email': 'value.email', 'name': 'value.firstname value.lastname' }"
this parameters are usuable for all OpenID endpoints supporting Attribute Exchange extension. They can be overriden in your application. Watch and/or override "openid/wayf" template from Jifty::Plugin::OpenID::View.
Or you can use in your view "show('openid/wayf','/url_return_to');".
ax_param
is the url send to authentication server. It defines namespace, mode, attributes types and requested attributes.
hints : MyOpenID use schema.openid.net schemas instead of axschema.org, Google provides lastname and firstname, Yahoo only fullname
ax_values
keys of attributes values read from authentication server response.
ax_mapping
mapping of receive values with our application fields in json format.
