brainpickin_remote_auth
brainpickin_remote_auth is a simple gem providing help with brainpickin’s Single Sign On functionality (see my.brainpickin.com/api/remote_authentication).
Installation and Setup
-
Install: gem install brainpickin_remote_auth
or add it to Gemfile
gem ‘brainpickin_remote_auth’
-
Setup:
You will need to give the gem your token and authentication url, perhaps in an initializer:
Brainpickin::RemoteAuth.token = 'OUR-SECRET-TOKEN'
Brainpickin::RemoteAuth.auth_url = 'https://yoursubdomain.brainpickin.com/access/remote/'
Usage
Mixin the Brainpickin::RemoteAuthHelper module wherever needed, then call:
brainpickin_remote_auth_url(:name => 'user name',
:email => 'user email',
<optional params>)
This will return a url you can redirect the user to to log them in to your brainpickin account.
As a convenience, you can pass a user object to brainpickin_remote_auth_url:
brainpickin_remote_auth_url(user)
This user must respond_to? :name and :email, and its :id will be used as the :external_id (making it useless with user objects that return an ephemeral object_id, but works well with ActiveRecord and the like).
This method will generate and include the hash of the parameters for you if necessary.
