OpenProject AuthPlugins Plugin

Adds support for easy integration of OmniAuth strategy providers as a means to authenticate users in OpenProject.

Dependencies

This plugin depends on the OpenProject Plugins plugin, so insert it into your Gemfile.plugins before the auth_plugins plugin itself:

gem 'openproject-plugins', :git => 'git@github.com:opf/openproject-plugins.git', :branch => 'dev'

Usage

gem 'openproject-auth_plugins', :git => 'git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject-auth_plugins', :branch => 'dev'

You can use this plugin to make an authentication plugin out of an ordinary OpenProject plugin. The first step is to generate a new plugin using the Plugins plugin. Once you have done that it only takes a few additions to make it an authentication plugin. Find your Engine class in engine.rb, let it extend OpenProject::Plugin::AuthPlugin and register the providers you want to use.

Here's an example of how that might look:

module OpenProject::SomeAuthPlugin
  class Engine < ::Rails::Engine
    engine_name :openproject_some_auth_plugin

    include OpenProject::Plugins::ActsAsOpEngine
    extend OpenProject::Plugins::AuthPlugin # just add this ...

    register 'openproject-some_auth_plugin',
             author_url: 'http://my.site',
             requires_openproject: '>= 3.1.0pre1'

    assets %w(
      some_auth_plugin/some_provider.png
    )

    # to get #register_auth_providers:
    register_auth_providers do
      strategy :some_strategy do
        [
          {
            name: 'some_provider',
            host: 'foo.bar.baz',
            port: 999,
            #, ... more provider options
            icon: 'some_auth_plugin/some_provider.png'
          },
          {
            name: 'another_provider',
            host: 'foobar.biz',
            port: '692',
            #, ... more provider options
          }
        ]
      end

      strategy :another_strategy do
        [{name: 'yet_another_provider'}]
      end
    end
  end
end

Register each OmniAuth strategy by calling strategy with the strategy's name and returning the options for the providers using that strategy in the passed block.

As you can see in the first registered provider you can also give a new option called 'icon'. Using this option you can define which icon is to be rendered for the given provider. In the example our own plugin provides the icon. In the plugin's directory it has to be placed under app/assets/images/some_auth_plugin/some_provider.png.
