G5 OmniAuth

This is the OmniAuth strategy for authenticating to G5 via OAuth 2.0.

Current version

0.3.1

Requirements

  • G5 Auth client credentials

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

ruby gem 'omniauth-g5'

And then execute:

console $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

console $ gem install omniauth-g5

Usage

Configuration

The strategy must be initialized with a valid client application ID and secret provided by the G5 auth service. For example, to use the G5 strategy with devise:

ruby Devise.setup do |config| config.omniauth :g5, ENV['G5_AUTH_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['G5_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET'] end

For more general information about setting up and using OmniAuth, see the official OmniAuth documentation.

Auth Hash

After authenticating, OmniAuth returns a hash of information in the Rack environment under the key omniauth.auth. The G5 OmniAuth strategy specifically uses the following subset of the full auth hash schema:

  • provider - this will always be set to the symbol :g5
  • uid - the unique identifier for the authenticated user
  • info - a hash containing information about the user
    • email - the email address of the authenticated user
    • name - the display name for the user (concatenated first and last names, or an empty string if no name fields have been populated)
    • first_name - the user’s first name (may be nil)
    • last_name - the user’s last name (may be nil)
    • phone - the user’s phone number (may be nil; no specific formatting is enforced)
  • credentials - information about the user’s access token
    • token - the access token string
    • expires - boolean indicating whether the access token has an expiry date (always set to true for G5)
    • expires_at - timestamp of the expiry time
  • extra - extra information returned from the auth server, including the raw user data and custom fields specific to G5
    • title - the user’s job title (may be nil)
    • organization_name - the user’s organization name (may be nil). This does not necessarily match the G5 client name. For example, it could be the name of a department or business unit within the client’s organization.
    • roles - the array of roles assigned to the user (may be empty)
      • name - the name of the role in snakecase
      • type - the type of resource to which the role is scoped (e.g. “GLOBAL”. “G5Updatable::Client”, “G5Updatable::Location”)
      • urn - the urn of the resource of which the role is scoped (may be nil for global roles)
    • raw_info - a hash representation of the full JSON response from the G5 auth server

For example:

ruby {"provider"=>:g5, "uid"=>42, "info"=> {"email"=>"[email protected]", "name"=>"Test User", "first_name"=>"Test", "last_name"=>"User", "phone"=>"(555) 555-5555"}, "credentials"=> {"token"=>"abc123", "expires_at"=>1430170866, "expires"=>true}, "extra"=> {"raw_info"=> {"id"=>42, "email"=>"[email protected]", "first_name"=>"Test", "last_name"=>"User", "phone_number"=>"(555) 555-5555", "organization_name"=>"Test Org", "title"=>"Tester", "roles"=>[{"name"=>"viewer","type"=>"GLOBAL","urn"=>nil}]}, "title"=>"Tester", "organization_name"=>"Test Org", "roles"=>[{"name"=>"viewer","type"=>"GLOBAL","urn"=>nil}]}}
