[Django]-Python-social-auth using Django server hostname and listening port as redirect_uri

✅

If I got that right, the problem is that python-social-auth is creating the wrong redirect_uri to send to the auth provider. It always sends http://localhost:8000/my-login-page but you want it to send http://myapp.com/my-login-page .

The right place to specify the redirect URI is in settings.py:

SOCIAL_AUTH_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'http://myapp.com/my-login-url'

and similar settings for special cases (e.g. SOCIAL_AUTH_NEW_USER_REDIRECT_URL). Then, you need to tell python-social-auth to let you change the domain, otherwise it will force the domain back to localhost:8000. Do this:

SOCIAL_AUTH_SANITIZE_REDIRECTS = False

(It is also possible to fix this across all of Django by giving hints to its build_absolute_uri() method about what domain to use. This involves more pieces of your stack but check it out in this answer).

I have Django 1.9 and python-socail-auth 0.2.13

settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
  ...
  'social.apps.django_app.default',
]

SOCIAL_AUTH_RAISE_EXCEPTIONS = True
RAISE_EXCEPTIONS = True

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
  'social.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2',
  'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY = '***'
SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET = '***'

SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = (
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_details',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_user',

urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
  ...
  url(r'', include('social.apps.django_app.urls', namespace='social')),
  url(r'', include('django.contrib.auth.urls', namespace='auth')),
]

In template:

 <a href="{% url 'social:begin' 'google-oauth2' %}?next={% url 'dashboard' %}">Google</a> |
