OmniAuth is a library that standardizes multi-provider authentication for web applications. It was created to be powerful, flexible, and do as little as possible. Any developer can create strategies for OmniAuth that can authenticate users via disparate systems. OmniAuth strategies have been created for everything from Facebook to LDAP. In order to use OmniAuth in your applications, you will need to leverage one or more strategies. These strategies are generally released individually as RubyGems, and you can see a community-maintained list on the wiki for this project. One strategy, called Developer, is included with OmniAuth and provides a completely insecure, non-production-usable strategy that directly prompts a user for authentication information and then passes it straight through. You can use it as a placeholder when you start development and easily swap in other strategies later.
Features
- Each OmniAuth strategy is a Rack Middleware
- Because OmniAuth is built for multi-provider authentication, you may want to leave room to run multiple strategies
- Integrate OmniAuth into your application
- OmniAuth is an extremely low-touch library
- It is designed to be a black box that you can send your application's users into when you need authentication and then get information back
- omniauth is not OOTB-compatible with rack_csrf
