In backends.py, when the pre_update signal is used (in SocialAuthBackend.update_user_details), it sets sender=self. Any receiver that filters on the sender class, e.g. sender=TwitterBackend, will not receive the signal, even if the sender is the right type.

I ran a quick test by changing line 123 to have "sender=self.class", and now it works as expected.

I'm trying to use the example project, using OpenID.

Steps to reproduce:

1. On a public IP, run python manage.py runserver <myip>:8000
2. Navigate to :8000. Enter openid into the form.
3. CSRF token failure!

if I return to "home" and try again a 2nd time, this time it works correctly, authenticates, and redirects to /accounts/profile.

After logging out, if I try to log in with the OpenID again, it again takes 2 tries -- the first with a CSRF failure.

I'm having trouble getting social_auth to play nicely with dumpdata/loaddata. It seems like the dumped extra_data string is badly formatted. Requoting the strings with double quotes ("...") rather than unicode and single quotes (u'.....') allows the fixture to be reloaded fine.

I have a feeling this is an issue with how extra_data is first set. After that it's just a text string which isn't parsed until the loaddata process happens (thus revealing the issue).

I'm using {% url begin backend='google-oauth' %} to create the UserSocialAuth instance.

<object pk="1" model="social_auth.usersocialauth">
    <field to="auth.user" name="user" rel="ManyToOneRel">2</field>

Hi,

I have managed to setup Twitter login successfully, but not facebook login. First thing I would like to make sure is that app_secret goes into FACEBOOK_API_SECRET, shouldn't it be FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET ?

When I go to /login/facebook/ I get to this URL:

http://127.facebook.com/complete/facebook/?code=2.7gjnFwVRMo35_hf1ag8pIw__.3600.1297684800-1459809612|ceSaUDXhNNdyA-a6gNgJF_QxgJM

Chrome says it could not find the website 127.facebook.com. Not sure why this happens. I'm testing this in my local dev server http://127.0.0.1:8000 and facebook's app Site URL matches this one.

I'm not getting any traceback or anything else.

Thanks, Best regards

Hi,

I just started using Django, so maybe I am missing something, but it looks to me like it currently is impossible to modify the session from within a pre_update handler, since the session nor the request are being provided with the signal.

What I want to do is create a very simple listener that stores the login-backend (class/method) in the session, so I can show in my view how the user has authenticated himself. It seems to me the session object is the place to store this kind of information, but since there is no request object in the Signal, my listener cannot get to the session object for this request. Another option would be to store this in the user-profile, in the database, and resave it everytime you login but that does not make much sense if you ask me.

Am I missing something, or would it be an idea to add the request to the Signal providing_args?

Hola Matías,

I have been thinking on how the app controls transactions, I reckon that maybe SocialAuthBackend.authenticate should be wrapped in a @transaction.commit_on_success so that no User gets created without a UserSocialAuth match, avoiding inconsistent data in the application.

What do you think?

Best regards,
Miguel Araujo

Hi,
Today i tried to use django-social-auth and authorization through Orkut, and i find that orkut oauth does not work, because Orkut algorithm was slighty changed . I modified orkut.py to get it worked.:

limited to http://orkut.gmodules.com/social/ by default, but can be
extended with ORKUT_EXTRA_SCOPE on project settings. Also name, display

Thanks.

====update 2 ====
My mistake in setting up the app url at the facebook setup page. My deployment works. Thanks.

However, the demo hosted at http://social.matiasaguirre.net/ fails to achieve simultaneous login, as mentioned in update 1.
====update 1 ====
omab, I tried changing the call back to the root url of my site at the facebook app setup page, but the same error.

Even the demo hosted at : http://social.matiasaguirre.net/ fails to achieve simultaneous login.
Try:

1. twitter login
2. facebook login
   http 500 Internal server error.

====original issue====
Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. set up application callback url at facebook to be /complete/facebook/
2. login facebook. works fine.
3. logout.
4. Login twitter
5. Now, while being connected to twitter, login facebook.
   The redirect_uri to facebook, by django_social_auth, in this case is /associate/complete/facebook/ and facebook returns with an error
   {
   "error": {
   "type": "OAuthException",
   "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration."
   }
   }

The reason is simple, there is only one callback url allowed at facebook app settings.

Should, in the case of simultaneous login, it be redirected to /complete/facebook/ only and then internally be redirected to /associate/complete/facebook/

Am I missing something?

I noticed your forwarding newly registered users to the same page as loged in users. LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL

Is there an easy to way to display a completion page when creating a new user?

Is there a special scope I need to define to get the users first and last name?

Would anyone be interested in a version of django-social-auth that uses SimpleGeo's oauth2 library (it's actively maintained)? I have a fork that uses this instead of python-oauth as I'm generally wary of projects that haven't been updated for months.

It's a fairly big "patch" as oauth2's interface is a bit different so I figured to first check if anyone's actually interested.

Thank you all for coming up with this wonderful app. It's really cool! However, please allow me to post a question here, since I don't know a better place to shoot this question.

I am using django-social-auth with my authentication mechanism of my application. In other parts of my app, I need the email from the logged-in user for certain features. I do not have any problem with Google and Yahoo. However, when it comes to facebook, I could not gain the user email from reques.user. Could you please tell me where I will be able to get the user email?

Here comes my code to get the user info. Thank you very much.

 '''
 Gets the basic user information from the system.
 '''
 def getDjangoDefaultUserInfo(request):
     email = ''
     provider = None
     user_name = request.user.username
     provider_string = ''
     if user_name != '':
         email = request.user.email
         provider = request.user.social_auth.values_list('provider', flat=True)
         for name in provider:
             provider_string += name.lower().replace('-', '_')

     info = {
         'user_name' : user_name,
         'email' : email,
         'provider' : provider_string
     }
     return info

should be storing the facebook token expires value somewhere, might as well be in extra data. Might as make this something easy to parse and store it as a json string

Simplify URLs definition using a single type, in this case, remove URLs names support:

SOCIAL_AUTH_COMPLETE_URL_NAME
SOCIAL_AUTH_ASSOCIATE_URL_NAME

with fixed versions like django auth contrib application does.

Hi,
i think that UUID_MAX_LENGTH must be editable in settings.py.

What you think?

Thanks in advance.

Probably I get this error cuz I run my application on development server with URL 127.0.0.1? I dont know why, I have set URL on my application settings on Facebook http://mytestapp123.com/ and added it to file hosts.

Currently custom User class is kinda hackish, needs improvement.

Hi guys,
i'm trying to understand if an user loggend, can associate its account with social account like twitter, facebook or google.
I think that the url is:
/associate/backend>/

but maybe I'm wrong because i receive some error, like this:
NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'association_complete' with arguments '(u'google',)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This not a issue but an open question : what is the reason for not retrieving a user account when found via the email field instead of creating a new one with the same email ?

For example : I already have a user account with the email "[email protected]" and when this user tries to connect with his facebook account (which shares the same mail) in a not-logged context, django-social-auth creates a duplicate entry with the same mail "[email protected]".

I know there is a associate view which only works in a logged context and the fact that django email field is a non-unique field but sometime user wants to authenticate with their email address.

Thank you for your answer and for your great work ;)

Please replace get_db_prep_save to get_prep_save in JSONField

See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/releases/1.2/#get-db-prep-methods-on-field

If an user login using different services (Google, Twitter, etc) and the user has the same username for at least two, Django raises an IntegrityError exception because it try to create more than one django account with the same username.

Hola Matías,

I've thought that maybe we could add another signal to the app. This one would be fired only once per new UserSocialAuth created. Let me explain you a use case. Imagine you need to attach a User profile and some other model to your new social user created, you only need to handle that once. I'm right now connecting to a post_save signal but first, the signal is fired twice within authenticate. Second time when User data is updated.

Every time the user logs, User data is updated and the signal is fired and enters my handler, which is unnecessary.

Maybe creating a socialuser_registered signal that is fired after updating the user data and only once per new user creation would be nice.

What do you think?

Accompanying the documentation in PyPI, I realized the import of calling the signals pre_save on signals.py was incorrect in the file within the social-auth, I suggest upgrading pre_save to pre_update in PyPI documentation or change the files again using the pre_update to pre_save.

Sorry for my bad English =)

Hi, you have done a great job with this plugin.

Currently i have developed a facebook+django app, when you try to access via the normal URL works fine redirecting the user if is not logged into facebook, but when you put the app inside an iframe it shows an extra step that make users thing "this is a bug".

Seems like is a Facebook protection or something, but how we can make this not appear as a bug?

Try not to be logged in facebook and access both apps in the button "login" and you see in the iframe version an extra step not showing in the external version.

This is the extra step that looks as a bug: http://cl.ly/6TmN

Thanks for your comments,

How can I set session expiration on a case-by-case basis? Sometimes I want session to use the default value, and sometimes I specifically only want session to live for existing browser window.

Hola Matías,

It is a common trend among most popular django-apps to move Sphinx docs to http://readthedocs.org/ which is a very nice project by @ericholscher. You might be interested in doing so.

If service (tested on myopenid.com) returns an empty username it should be changed to default or random.

Basically, in social_auth/backends/init.py, method "username", line 136 additional check for an empty value of username should be done, if it is so - either default or random name should be used.

Hi guys.
How i can implement the foursquare support for django-social-auth?

It use OAuth 2.0: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/

Thanks in advance.

Hi again,

I need to know when a user is created by the authenticate method of the SocialAuthBackend.

Use case: when a user is automatically created by django-social-auth, I write a specific message (with the help of the messages framework) which can be only done in a request context.

I know there is a signal named socialauth_registered which is launched when a user is created but for the need of my application I have to interact with the request object.

When I look into the authenticate method of the SocialAuthBackend I find the is_new variable which is True when a user is created.

Is there any way to return this value in the authenticate process?

I also have a quick solution based on django.contrib.auth.backends.authenticate which can be done in l.150 of social_auth/backends/init.py:

user.is_new = is_new
return user

Thanks again.

Hello

You use deprecate functions in backends.py:

import os
-import md5
+from hashlib import md5
from openid.extensions import ax, sreg

from django.conf import settings
@@ -66,7 +66,7 @@
"""
def get_random_username():
"""Return hash from random string cut at 30 chars"""

•        return md5.md5(str(os.urandom(10))).hexdigest()[:30]
  

•        return md5(str(os.urandom(10))).hexdigest()[:30]
  
   if getattr(settings, 'SOCIAL_AUTH_FORCE_RANDOM_USERNAME', False):
       username = get_random_username()
  

And change please in how to names backends:
from:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'social_auth.backends.TwitterOAuthBackend',
'social_auth.backends.FacebookOAuthBackend',
'social_auth.backends.OrkutOAuthBackend',
'social_auth.backends.GoogleOpenIDBackend',
'social_auth.backends.YahooOpenIDBackend',
'social_auth.backends.OpenIDBackend',
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

To:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'social_auth.backends.TwitterBackend',
'social_auth.backends.FacebookBackend',
'social_auth.backends.GoogleBackend',
'social_auth.backends.OpenIDBackend',
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

Thank You for library :)

Improve backends by adding a contrib like structure where modules will be loaded dynamically and contributions will be easier to maintain.

Hi
when I click on facebook login from the base template page
I get the following error

Exception Type: IOError at /complete/facebook/
Exception Value: [Errno url error] unknown url type: 'https'

EDIT : As I was working on localhost, I needed to deploy it !

But I stil get an error when I want to login facebook, it ends up on this page
http://zotcybercase.appspot.com/complete/facebook/?code=4ed2e9d1bf9a6be021188a19-527970475|HEsr146zwnUMImudQXVLYT6TrU8

with "There was an error while handling your request."

EDIT 2 : I'm such a dumba**, the facebook secret key was not good, I put the api key

May it serve some people...

Let me continue (I can't find the delete button for that useless post...)

In the django ADMIN whenever I click on "Associations", "Nonces", "Users social auths" under "Social_Auth"...it raise an error 500

my GAE logs says :

File "/base/python_runtime/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/datastore/datastore_query.py", line 1013, in __query_result_hook
str(exc) + '\nThis query needs this index:\n' + yaml)
NeedIndexError: no matching index found.
This query needs this index:

• kind: social_auth_association
  properties:
  • name: key
    direction: desc

What does that mean ?

auth_process() overwrites the current session[REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME], making it impossible to set the url to redirect to after logging in in a page-specific manner (visiting a certain login page redirects to one page, while visiting another login page redirects to another).

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, and delete this issue.

The LICENSE file included is clearly a BSD license, but setup.py (and consequently PyPI) state that the software is licensed under the GPL. The setup.py file should be corrected.

this code fragment is not thread safe (backends/init.py):

    name, idx = username, 2
    while True:
        try:
            name = fixer(name)
            User.objects.get(username=name)
            name = username + str(idx)
            idx += 1
        except User.DoesNotExist:
            username = name
            break

parallel processes or threads can generate same username and try to store same usernames. but the only one thread will write data, and others will raise IntegrityError.

using uuid instead of incrementing index is more safe. you can generate uuid and store it in base36.

greetz.

Example: first time I login by manually enter OpenId with OpenIDBackend, second time I login with LiveJournalBackend.
According to the below code, I get two account with the same OpenId identity_url.

# backends/__init__.py
try:
    social_user = UserSocialAuth.objects.select_related('user')\
                                        .get(provider=self.name,
                                             uid=uid)
except UserSocialAuth.DoesNotExist:
    # ...

I try to fix this by test isinstance(backend, OpenIDBackend), but stop at

# views.py
social_user = user.social_auth.filter(provider=backend_name) \
                              .order_by('-id')[0]

And if use this way to fix this bug will make codes not clear. May be there has a better way, but I have no.

My first time use github, and my English not well, so please...

Thanks very much.

Hola Matías,

I haven't found any tests within you app's directories. I'm not sure why there are not any tests, is it because testing it would be quite hard? I think for ensuring app's quality we should work at least on some login and association tests for every backend supported.

What do you think? any ideas on this?

Best regards,
Miguel Araujo

Twitter integration is giving the following error:

KeyError at /login/twitter/
oauth_token

(facebook works fine)

This would be for at least Facebook - however, nothing meaningful is done with the expiration data.

I think this code needs to be looked at. I'm having really weird issues when users don't have emails.

Try creating a linkedin.... logout... then login with a twitter. When it does the finally redirect you will have the details from the previous linkedin account

Hi,

I just tried to implement social_auth, and I'm running into trouble with whitespace in the username that's created. I have a UserProfile model that's linked by ForeignKey to a User. When I want to see a UserProfile I go to /profile/username

The SocialAuthBackend creates a username based on details, as pasted in the code below:

if FORCE_RANDOM_USERNAME:
    username = get_random_username()
elif USERNAME in details:
    username = details[USERNAME]
elif DEFAULT_USERNAME:
    username = DEFAULT_USERNAME
    if callable(username):
        username = username()

In "details" my Facebook username, apparently, is "Firstname Lastname," like "Joe Smith." So there is a whitespace in between "joe" and "smith." This is unallowed, as is written in the "Username" form field in the Change user admin template: "Required. 30 characters or fewer. Letters, digits and @/./+/-/_ only."

How shall I fix this?

Thanks!
