SSO with Devise and Omniauth Client¶ ↑

This is the client that uses ONLY omniauth to connect to a custom provider for single sign on between multiple applications.

Usage¶ ↑

git clone git://github.com/joshsoftware/sso-devise-omniauth-client.git
bundle install
rake db:create
rake db:migrate

Configure the Client¶ ↑

On the Provider, register this client application:

rails c
> @client = Client.new
> @client.app_id = 'some key'
> @client.app_secret = 'some secret'
> @client.save

Copy these same values in the Client config/initializers/omniauth.rb

APP_ID = 'some key' 
APP_SECRET = 'some secret'

# Update your custom Omniauth provider URL here
CUSTOM_PROVIDER_URL = 'http://localhost:3000'

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :josh_id, APP_ID, APP_SECRET
end

The custom Omniauth strategy¶ ↑

Since we want a single sign-on between our server and our client apps, we need to write a custom omniauth strategy. This is written in lib/josh_id.rb. Please implement your own and / or modify as required.

To test single sign-on¶ ↑

git clone git://github.com/joshsoftware/sso-devise-omniauth-client.git client1
git clone git://github.com/joshsoftware/sso-devise-omniauth-client.git client2

# configure the client1 key and secret in the provider as mentioned above

# In separater terminals start 2 clients
client1 $ rails s -p3001 
client2 $ rails s -p3002

Now, if you login via 1 client, and change the URL to the other, you will be automatically signed-in!
