OpenID

The OpenID provider requires dependencies that are not installed by default. Install using:

$ pip install "django-allauth[socialaccount,openid]"

The provider does not require any settings per se. However, a typical OpenID login page presents the user with a predefined list of OpenID providers and allows the user to input their own OpenID identity URL in case their provider is not listed by default. The list of providers displayed by the builtin templates can be configured as follows:

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
    'openid': {
        'SERVERS': [
            {
                'id': 'yahoo',
                'name': 'Yahoo',
                'openid_url': 'http://me.yahoo.com',
            },
            {
                'id': 'hyves',
                'name': 'Hyves',
                'openid_url': 'http://hyves.nl',
            },
            {
                'id': 'google',
                'name': 'Google',
                'openid_url': 'https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id',
            },
        ]
    }
}

You can manually specify extra_data you want to request from server as follows:

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = \
    { 'openid':
        { 'SERVERS':
            [
                {
                    'id': 'mojeid',
                    'name': 'MojeId',
                    'openid_url': 'https://mojeid.cz/endpoint/',
                    'extra_attributes': [
                        ('phone', ''http://axschema.org/contact/phone/default', False),
                        ('birth_date', 'http://axschema.org/birthDate', False),
                    ]
                },
            ]
        }
    }

Attributes are in form (id, name, required) where id is key in extra_data field of socialaccount, name is identifier of requested attribute and required specifies whether attribute is required.

If you want to manually include login links yourself, you can use the following template tag:

{% load socialaccount %}
<a href="{% provider_login_url "openid" openid="https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id" next="/success/url/" %}">Google</a>

The OpenID provider can be forced to operate in stateless mode as follows:

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = \
    { 'openid':
        { 'SERVERS':
            [
                {
                    'id': 'steam',
                    'name': 'Steam',
                    'openid_url': 'https://steamcommunity.com/openid',
                    'stateless': True,
                },
            ]
        }
    }
