dataporten-auth
===============
Dataporten_ is an authentication, authorization and API platform
for higher and lower education and research in Norway. Dataporten
offers authentication of users to applications using OAuth 2.0 and
the OpenID Connect.
Dataporten-auth is a client for dataporten that depends on
python-social-auth_.
Installation
------------
Install with ``pip`` or by downloading the source and running
``setup.py``.
Usage
-----
There needs to exist an entry for your site/app at dataporten. Log
in to `dataporten's dashboard`_ and create an application.
You'll need to set the client id and client secret in the
settings of your app/site, while the application at dataporten
will need one or more redirect uris.
Both the name of the settings and the redirect uris depend on the
plugins used. Add at least one of the plugins below. See
`python-social-auth's documentation`_ for how.
The redirect uri is of the form ``<type>://<domainpath>/<suffix>/``,
where ``<type>`` is one of ``http`` or ``https``, ``<domainpath>`` is
the domain name of your site and an optional path, and the ``<suffix>`` is
plugin-dependent. See the examples.
You can have several redirect-uris, and you will be needing at least
one per plugin used.
