Add a Redirect URI…

Start by finding the URL:

# www.hatherleigh.info.sh shell
import urllib.parse
from django.conf import settings
from django.urls import reverse
urllib.parse.urljoin(settings.HOST_NAME, reverse('oidc_authentication_callback'))

Then add the URL:

Tip

Don’t forget to append a /.

Tip

If you forget to add a Redirect URI or set it incorrectly, the error message from Azure Sign in will be, The reply URL specified in the request does not match the reply URLs configured for the application.

You can update the redirect URL by selecting Redirect URIs in the application overview:

Warning

You will need to append a / to the Redirect URI (e.g. http://localhost:8000/oidc/callback/).

Tip

For more information, see examples of callback urls in mozilla-django-oidc,

Settings

The login app requires a .private file containing the following:

set -x OIDC_OP_AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT "https://login.microsoftonline.com/fcee251/oauth2/v2.0/authorize"
set -x OIDC_OP_TOKEN_ENDPOINT "https://login.microsoftonline.com/fcee251/oauth2/v2.0/token"

set -x OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID "36ad9"
set -x OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET "aead6"

set -x OIDC_OP_JWKS_ENDPOINT "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/discovery/v2.0/keys"
set -x OIDC_RP_SIGN_ALGO "RS256"
set -x OIDC_USE_NONCE False

# used by 'login/management/commands/demo_data_login_oidc.py'
set -x KB_TEST_EMAIL_FOR_OIDC "patrick@kbsoftware.co.uk"
set -x KB_TEST_EMAIL_USERNAME "pkimber"

The Application ID (OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID) is on the Overview page:

The OIDC_OP_AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT and OIDC_OP_TOKEN_ENDPOINT endpoints are found by clicking on Endpoints

Create a secret in Certificates and secrets (OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET):

Tip

Copy the secret (not the id of the secret).

To get the OIDC_OP_JWKS_ENDPOINT and OIDC_RP_SIGN_ALGO browse to: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration

Tip

I found this information in the Fetch the OpenID Connect metadata document…

ssh

If your ssh connections are timing out, then add the following to your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host www.hatherleigh.info
    ServerAliveInterval 120
    ServerAliveCountMax 4

Tip

Replace Host as appropriate.
