This library implements OpenID Connect for Rails applications on top of the Doorkeeper OAuth 2.0 framework.
The following parts of OpenID Connect Core 1.0 are currently supported:
- Authentication using the Authorization Code Flow
- Requesting Claims using Scope Values
- UserInfo Endpoint
- Normal Claims
In addition we also support most of OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 for automatic configuration discovery.
Take a look at the DiscoveryController for more details on supported features.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile
and run bundle install
:
gem 'doorkeeper-openid_connect'
Run the installation generator to update routes and create the initializer:
rails generate doorkeeper:openid_connect:install
Generate a migration for Active Record (other ORMs are currently not supported):
rails generate doorkeeper:openid_connect:migration
rake db:migrate
Verify your settings in config/initializers/doorkeeper.rb
:
resource_owner_authenticator
-
Make sure this returns a falsey value if the current user can't be determined:
resource_owner_authenticator do if current_user current_user else redirect_to(new_user_session_url) nil end end
-
The following settings are required in config/initializers/doorkeeper_openid_connect.rb
:
issuer
- Identifier for the issuer of the response (i.e. your application URL). The value is a case sensitive URL using the
https
scheme that contains scheme, host, and optionally, port number and path components and no query or fragment components.
- Identifier for the issuer of the response (i.e. your application URL). The value is a case sensitive URL using the
subject
- Identifier for the resource owner (i.e. the authenticated user). A locally unique and never reassigned identifier within the issuer for the end-user, which is intended to be consumed by the client. The value is a case-sensitive string and must not exceed 255 ASCII characters in length.
- The database ID of the user is an acceptable choice if you don't mind leaking that information.
jws_private_key
,jws_public_key
- Private and public RSA key pair for JSON Web Signature.
- You can generate these with the
openssl
command, see e.g. Generate a keypair using OpenSSL. - You should not commit these keys to your repository, but use external files (in combination with
File.read
) and/or the dotenv-rails gem (in combination withENV[...]
).
resource_owner_from_access_token
- Defines how to translate the Doorkeeper access token to a resource owner model.
The following settings are optional, but recommended for better client compatibility:
auth_time_from_resource_owner
- Returns the time of the user's last login, this can be a
Time
,DateTime
, or any other class that responds toto_i
- Required to support the
max_age
parameter and theauth_time
claim.
- Returns the time of the user's last login, this can be a
reauthenticate_resource_owner
- Defines how to trigger reauthentication for the current user (e.g. display a password prompt, or sign-out the user and redirect to the login form).
- Required to support the
max_age
andprompt=login
parameters.
The following settings are optional:
expiration
- Expiration time after which the ID Token must not be accepted for processing by clients.
- The default is 120 seconds
To perform authentication over OpenID Connect, an OAuth client needs to request the openid
scope. This scope needs to be enabled using either optional_scopes
in the global Doorkeeper configuration in config/initializers/doorkeeper.rb
, or by adding it to any OAuth application's scope
attribute.
Note that any application defining its own scopes won't inherit the scopes defined in the initializer, so you might have to update existing applications as well.
See Using Scopes in the Doorkeeper wiki for more information.
Claims can be defined in a claims
block inside config/initializers/doorkeeper_openid_connect.rb
:
Doorkeeper::OpenidConnect.configure do
claims do
claim :email do |resource_owner|
resource_owner.email
end
claim :full_name do |resource_owner|
"#{resource_owner.first_name} #{resource_owner.last_name}"
end
end
end
You can pass a scope:
keyword argument on each claim to specify which OAuth scope should be required to access the claim. If you define any of the defined Standard Claims they will by default use their corresponding scopes (profile
, email
, address
and phone
), and any other claims will by default use the profile
scope. Again, to use any of these scopes you need to enable them as described above.
The installation generator will update your config/routes.rb
to define all required routes:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
use_doorkeeper_openid_connect
# your routes
end
This will mount the following routes:
GET /oauth/userinfo
POST /oauth/userinfo
GET /oauth/discovery/keys
GET /.well-known/openid-configuration
GET /.well-known/webfinger
To support clients who send nonces you have to tweak Doorkeeper's authorization view so the parameter is passed on.
If you don't already have custom templates, run this generator in your Rails application to add them:
rails generate doorkeeper:views
Then tweak the template as follows:
--- i/app/views/doorkeeper/authorizations/new.html.erb

Run bundle install
to setup all development dependencies.
To run all specs:
bundle exec rspec
To run the local engine server:
cd spec/dummy
bundle exec rails server
By default, the latest Rails version is used. To use a specific version run:
rails=4.2.0 bundle update
