<p>Flask-OpenID is an extension to <a class="reference external" href="http://flask.pocoo.org/">Flask</a> that allows you to add <a class="reference external" href="http://openid.net/">OpenID</a>
based authentication to your website in a matter of minutes. It depends
on Flask and <a class="reference external" href="http://openidenabled.com/python-openid/">python-openid</a> 2.x. You can install the requirements from
PyPI with <cite>easy_install</cite> or <cite>pip</cite> or download them by hand.</p>
<div class="section" id="features">
<h2>Features<a class="headerlink" href="#features" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>support for OpenID 2.x</li>
<li>friendly API</li>
<li>perfect integration into Flask</li>
<li>basic support for AX and SReg extensions to OpenID that make it possible
to fetch basic profile information from a user&#8217;s OpenID provider.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="installation">
<h2>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Install the extension with one of the following commands:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ easy_install Flask-OpenID</pre>
</div>
<p>or alternatively if you have <cite>pip</cite> installed:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ pip install Flask-OpenID</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="how-to-use">
<h2>How to Use<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-use" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>To integrate Flask-OpenID into your application you need to create an
instance of the <a title="flaskext.openid.OpenID" class="reference internal" href="#flaskext.openid.OpenID"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpenID</span></tt></a> object first:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">flaskext.openid</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">OpenID</span>
<span class="n">oid</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">OpenID</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">&#39;/path/to/store&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>By default it will use the filesystem as store for information needed by
OpenID for the authentication process. You can alternatively implement
your own store that uses the database or a no-sql server. For more
information about that, consult the python-openid documentation.</p>
<p>The current logged in user has to memorized somewhere, we will use the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'openid'</span></tt> key in the <cite>session</cite>. This can be implemented in a
<cite>before_request</cite> function:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">flask</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">g</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">session</span>
<span class="nd">@app.before_request</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">lookup_current_user</span><span class="p">():</span>
<span class="n">g</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">user</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">None</span>
<span class="k">if</span> <span class="s">&#39;openid&#39;</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">session</span><span class="p">:</span>
<span class="n">g</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">user</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">User</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">query</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">filter_by</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">openid</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">openid</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">first</span><span class="p">()</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This assumes the openid used for a user is stored in the user table
itself. As you can see from the example above, we&#8217;re using SQLAlchemy
here, but feel free to use a different storage backend. It&#8217;s just
important that you can somehow map from openid URL to user.</p>
<p>Next you need to define a login handling function. This function is a
standard view function that is additionally decorated as
<a title="flaskext.openid.OpenID.loginhandler" class="reference internal" href="#flaskext.openid.OpenID.loginhandler"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">loginhandler()</span></tt></a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nd">@app.route</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">&#39;/login&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">methods</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s">&#39;GET&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&#39;POST&#39;</span><span class="p">])</span>

<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">oid</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">try_login</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">openid</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">ask_for</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s">&#39;email&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">&#39;fullname&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>

<span class="n">error</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">oid</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">fetch_error</span><span class="p">())</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>What&#8217;s happening inside the login handler is that first we try to figure
out if the user is already logged in. In that case we return to where we
just came from (<a title="flaskext.openid.OpenID.get_next_url" class="reference internal" href="#flaskext.openid.OpenID.get_next_url"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_next_url()</span></tt></a> can do that for us). When
the data is submitted we get the openid the user entered and try to login
with that information. Additionally we ask the openid provider for email,
nickname and the user&#8217;s full name. If that information is available, we
can use it to simplify the account creation process in our application.</p>
<p>The template also needs the URL we want to return to, because it has to
forward that information in the form. If an error happened,
<a title="flaskext.openid.OpenID.fetch_error" class="reference internal" href="#flaskext.openid.OpenID.fetch_error"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">fetch_error()</span></tt></a> will return that error message for us.</p>
<p>This is what a login template typically looks like:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+jinja"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="s2">&quot;layout.html&quot;</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>

</pre></div>

<p>See how <cite>error</cite> and <cite>next</cite> are used. The name of the form field <cite>next</cite> is
required, so don&#8217;t change it.</p>

<div class="section" id="responding-to-successful-logins">

<p>Next we have to define a function that is called after the login was
successful. The resonsibility of that function is to remember the user
that just logged in and to figure out if it&#8217;s a new user to the system or
one with an existing profile (if you want to use profiles).</p>

that fails we redirect the user to a page to create a new profile and also
forward the name (or nickname if no name is provided) and the email
