Usage

Example configuration

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do

Additional Configuration Notes

  • name is arbitrary, I recommend using the name of your provider. The name configuration exists because you could be using multiple OpenID Connect providers in a single app.

NOTE: if you use this gem with Devise you should use :openid_connect name, or Devise would route to 'users/auth/:provider' rather than 'users/auth/openid_connect'

  • response_type tells the authorization server which grant type the application wants to use, currently, only :code (Authorization Code grant) and :id_token (Implicit grant) are valid.
  • If you want to pass state parameter by yourself. You can set Proc Object. e.g. state: Proc.new { SecureRandom.hex(32) }
  • nonce is optional. If don't want to pass "nonce" parameter to provider, You should specify false to send_nonce option. (default true)
  • Support for other client authentication methods. If don't specified :client_auth_method option, automatically set :basic.
  • Use "OpenID Connect Discovery", You should specify true to discovery option. (default false)
  • In "OpenID Connect Discovery", generally provider should have Webfinger endpoint. If provider does not have Webfinger endpoint, You can specify "Issuer" to option. e.g. issuer: "https://myprovider.com" It means to get configuration from "https://myprovider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration".
  • The uid is by default using the sub value from the user_info response, which in some applications is not the expected value. To avoid such limitations, the uid label can be configured by providing the omniauth uid_field option to a different label (i.e. preferred_username) that appears in the user_info details.
  • The issuer property should exactly match the provider's issuer link.
  • The response_mode option is optional and specifies how the result of the authorization request is formatted.
  • Some OpenID Connect providers require the scope attribute in requests to the token endpoint, even if this is not in the protocol specifications. In those cases, the send_scope_to_token_endpoint property can be used to add the attribute to the token request. Initial value is true, which means that the scope attribute is included by default.

Additional notes

  • In some cases, you may want to go straight to the callback phase - e.g. when requested by a stateless client, like a mobile app. In such example, the session is empty, so you have to forward certain parameters received from the client. Currently supported ones are code_verifier and nonce - simply provide them as the /callback request parameters.
