Python Flask Single Sign-On SSO

---

Python Flask JWT Single Sign-On (SSO) solution by miniOrange provides secure Single Sign-On access into Python Flask application using a single set of login credentials. This is done using JSON Web Token (JWT) tokens and it can be easily integrated with Python Flask built in any framework or language. You can enable social login for your users to get secure access to applications using any of their existing social providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, or LinkedIn.

With miniOrange Python Flask SSO, you get:

• Seamless user login experience.
• Endless customizations to your login forms and pages.
• Simplified customer or user on-boarding.

Follow the step-by-step guide given below for Python Flask Single Sign-On (SSO):

1. Configure Python Flask in miniOrange

• Go to Apps and click on Add Application button.



• In Choose Application, select JWT from the application type dropdown.



• In the next step, search for Python Flask application from the list. If your application is not found, search for JWT App and you can set up your Application.



• You can configure the following details in the application:

  Custom App Name	Enter the Application Name of your choice, and add a description if required.
  Redirect-URL	Enter the Redirect-URL (i.e. the endpoint where you want to send/post your JWT). You can add multiple redirect URLs by separating them with a ‘;’. E.g. abc.com;xyz.com
  Primary Identity Provider (optional)	Select your Identity Source from the dropdown. You can select miniOrange here as default IDP.




• Click on Save to complete the configuration.
• Click on Edit in the ' ' icon against your app.



• You can get further details about your recently added JWT application:

  Client ID	If your application provides its own client ID, you can configure it by clicking on the Customize button.
  App Secret	You can find App Secret by clicking on the copy icon. This is used in the HS265 Signature algorithm for generating the signature.
  Signature Algorithm	Select RSA-SHA256 as your signature algorithm from the dropdown.
  Primary Identity Provider	Select the default Identity Provider from the dropdown for the application. If not selected, users will see the screen of default IdP (miniOrange)
  Redirect URL	Enter your app’s URL here (This is the URL where you will receive your JWT.) <app-login-url>/?id_token=<token> eg: https://localhost:3000/home/?id_token=eyefb43bf.whfeeg.hfwf In this example, https://localhost:3000/home is my app’s URL where id_token will be posted after authentication.

• Scroll down to Endpoints.



• SSO URL for using miniOrange as Authentication Source: If you are going to store users in miniOrange and use miniOrange as your authentication source,then, copy and save this URL somewhere as it will be used in further steps.
• SSO URL for using External Providers as Authentication Source: If you are going to use any External Provider as your authentication source, then, Copy this one and save somewhere as it will be used in further step.

2. Adding Script on Python Flask's End

• To enable SSO on Python Flask's end, all you need to do is add a Single Sign-On URL and Customized Script to retrieve the required attributes from the JWT token.
• Please click here to contact us for the script which is to be added.

3. Test SSO Configuration

• Login to miniOrange IdP using your credentials.



• On the Dashboard, click on Python Flask application which you have added, to verify SSO configuration.
