Google Federated Auth for Flask (and Humans)

Require an account from a given Google Apps domain for your Flask apps.

Great for internal apps on public-facing servers.

Usage

Setup is super simple::

from flask import Flask
from flask_googlefed import GoogleAuth

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'random secret key'
app.config['GOOGLE_DOMAIN'] = 'heroku.com'

auth = GoogleAuth(app)

@app.route('/')
@auth.required
def secret():
    return 'ssssshhhhh'

Install

Installation is equally simple::

$ pip install flask-googlefed

Prerequisites

Be sure that your Google Apps domain is enabled to be an OpenID provider under 'Advanced tools' > 'Federated Login using OpenID'

Also, create the required federation end points on your domain. See example <http://jeremiahlee.com/blog/2009/09/28/how-to-setup-openid-with-google-apps/>_.

TODO

Be forewarned, there's work to be done:

• g.user is always None
