1. Create an app and place this in `admin.py`. 2. Add `url(r'^login/$', 'social_auth.views.auth', {'backend': 'google'}, name='login')` to your `urls.py`. 3. Add the app to your `INSTALLED_APPS` after `django.contrib.admin`. 4. Set `USE_SOCIAL_AUTH_AS_ADMIN_LOGIN = True` in your `settings.py`. 5. ... 6. Profit.
Use django_openid_auth from https://launchpad.net/django-openid-auth to authenticate your users with their Google Account. This snippet will allow your users having a Google Account address as username to log in using it.
**This is a newforms field for OpenID 1 & 2.** It normalizes and validates OpenID identifiers according to the [spec](http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#normalization): * `xri://=joelwatts` to `=joelwatts` * `joelwatts.com` to `http://joelwatts.com/` * `www.joelwatts.com` to `http://joelwatts.com/` An identifier that is well-formed, but not an OpenID (e.g. `example.com`), will cause a validation error. Requires [Python OpenID Library](http://openidenabled.com/python-openid/) 2.x.x.
Lots of people have asked me when the [django-openid](http://code.google.com/p/django-openid/) package will provide tools for running an OpenID provider (in addition to an OpenID consumer). The answer is "when it's done", but since it's such a common request I've decided to post some example code to help people who want to work it out for themselves. This is the openidserver.py file from [idproxy.net](http://idproxy.net/). It is **incomplete** - the urlconf, models, templates and some utility functions are not included. In other words, it's useless for anything other than providing a few hints as to how you can go about implementing a provider. Nonetheless, it's better than nothing. I hope this will prove a useful example for people trying to figure out how to best integrate the JanRain Python OpenID library with Django to build an OpenID provider.
