Omniauth::Aid

This gem provides an OmniAuth strategy for using aID as an Oauth2-provider in your app.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-aid'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omniauth-aid

Usage

OmniAuth::Strategies::Aid is simply a Rack middleware. Read the OmniAuth docs for detailed instructions: https://github.com/intridea/omniauth.

Here's a quick example, adding the middleware to a Rails app in config/initializers/omniauth.rb:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :aid, ENV['AID_KEY'], ENV['AID_SECRET']
end

For using the strategy with a straight up rack app, look at the example Sinatra app

Configuring

You can configure several options, which you pass in to the provider method via a Option:

Hash name	Default	Explanation
scope	id name	A space-separated list of permissions you want to request from the user. Optional scopes are: email, phone, birth_date, tracking_key, access, external_accounts, customer, avatar

For example, to request name, birth_date and email permissions and display the authentication page:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :aid, ENV['AID_APP_KEY'], ENV['AID_APP_SECRET'],
           :scope => 'name birth_date email'
end

Test-driving the gem

A simple way to test if the aID-strategy is working is to install the Omniauth-test-harness rails app and provide it with the scopes and app-configuration provided for using aID as an Omniauth-provider.
