ckanext-socialite

[EXPERIMENTAL] A CKAN extension to allow login using Google, LinkedIn, Facebook or Github.

It was noted that the CKAN Data Portal needed the new user to create a new account from within the product. As a result, it was put forward that it should allow people to login using their social media accounts. That is what this extension aims to achieve. It allows a new user to sign in using Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and Github.

How It Works

This extension adds the relevant social media buttons to the login page allowing the user to login using them.

How to Install

Installing this extension in your CKAN instance is as easy as installing any other CKAN extension.

• Activate your virtual environment

. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

• Install the extension

pip install ckanext-socialite

Note: If you prefer, you can also download the source code and install the extension manually. To do so, execute the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/CodeForAfricaLabs/ckanext-socialite.git
$ cd ckanext-socialite
$ python setup.py install

• Modify your configuration file (generally in /etc/ckan/default/production.ini) and add socialite in the ckan.plugins property.

ckan.plugins = <OTHER_PLUGINS> socialite

• Restart your apache2 reserver

sudo service apache2 restart

• Then correctly configure the extension through the instructions outlined below.
