Installation

Taiga Back

In your Taiga back python virtualenv install the pip package taiga-contrib-oidc-auth with:

  pip install taiga-contrib-oidc-auth

Modify your settings/local.py and include the lines:

INSTALLED_APPS += [
    "mozilla_django_oidc",
    "taiga_contrib_oidc_auth",
]

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = list(AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS) + [
    "taiga_contrib_oidc_auth.oidc.TaigaOIDCAuthenticationBackend",
]

# Add the OIDC urls
ROOT_URLCONF = "settings.urls"

# OIDC Settings
OIDC_CALLBACK_CLASS = "taiga_contrib_oidc_auth.views.TaigaOIDCAuthenticationCallbackView"
OIDC_RP_SCOPES = "openid profile email"
OIDC_RP_SIGN_ALGO = "RS256"
# Set the OIDC provider here.
OIDC_BASE_URL = "https://id.fedoraproject.org/openidc"
# Those URL values work for Ipsilon.
OIDC_OP_JWKS_ENDPOINT = OIDC_BASE_URL + "/Jwks"
OIDC_OP_AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT = OIDC_BASE_URL + "/Authorization"
OIDC_OP_TOKEN_ENDPOINT = OIDC_BASE_URL + "/Token"
OIDC_OP_USER_ENDPOINT = OIDC_BASE_URL + "/UserInfo"
# These two are private! Don't commit them to VCS. Getting the values from
# environment variables is a good way.
import os
OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID = os.getenv("OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID")
OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET = os.getenv("OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET")

Create a settings/urls.py containing:

from taiga.urls import *
urlpatterns += [
    url(r"^oidc/", include("mozilla_django_oidc.urls")),
]

Now you need a client_id and a client_secret. If you haven't registered with your OIDC provider yet and self-registration is allowed, you may run:

  pip install oidc-register
  oidc-register http://oidc-provider.example.com

It will generate a client_secrets.json file that contains the client_id and client_secret values that you must use. With the example settings.py directives above, you can pass those values as environment variables (OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID and OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET) when you run the backend API (taiga-back).

Taiga Front

Build the frontend plugin:

  cd front
  npm install
  npm install gulp
  ./node_modules/.bin/gulp build

If you already have Gulp on your system, you may just call gulp build instead of the last two lines.

Copy the OIDC compiled code to the taiga-front directory:

  mkdir -p $TAIGA_FRONT/dist/plugins/
  cp -r dist/ $TAIGA_FRONT/dist/plugins/oidc-auth/

Include in your $TAIGA_FRONT/dist/conf.json in the contribPlugins list the value "/plugins/oidc-auth/oidc-auth.json":

...
    "contribPlugins": ["/plugins/oidc-auth/oidc-auth.json"],
...

Configuration

You can change the button logo and text by setting the oidcButtonText and oidcButtonImage configuration values in $TAIGA_FRONT/dist/conf.json. For example, if you are using Fedora's OIDC provider, you may set:

...
    "oidcButtonText": "Fedora",
    "oidcButtonImage": "fedora-logo.png",
...

If you set a different logo, you must copy the file in $TAIGA_FRONT/dist/plugins/oidc-auth/images/contrib/.

If you want to mount the mozilla_django_oidc app on a different location in taiga-back, you can change the moint point in $TAIGA_BACK/settings/urls.py and adjust the frontend by defining the oidcMountPoint variable in the $TAIGA_FRONT/dist/conf.json file. Example:

...
    "oidcMountPoint": "/api/oidc",
...

The value defaults to /oidc, as used in the examples above. Mounting it inside the /api namespace may make your HTTP proxy configuration easier.
