*kinto-portier* enables authentication in *Kinto* applications using
an email address.

It provides:

* An authentication policy class;
* Integration with *Kinto* cache backend for token verifications;
* Integration with *Kinto* for heartbeat view checks;
* Some optional endpoints to perform the *OAuth* dance (*optional*).

* `Kinto documentation `_
* `Issue tracker `_

Installation
------------

Install the Python package:

::

pip install kinto-portier

Include the package in the project configuration:

.. code-block:: ini

kinto.includes = kinto_portier

And configure authentication policy using `pyramid_multiauth
`_ formalism:

.. code-block:: ini

multiauth.policies = portier
multiauth.policy.portier.use = kinto_portier.authentication.PortierOAuthAuthenticationPolicy

By default, it will rely on the cache configured in *Kinto*.

Configuration
-------------

Fill those settings with the values obtained during the application registration:

.. code-block:: ini

kinto.portier.broker_url = https://broker.portier.io
kinto.portier.webapp.authorized_domains = *.github.io
# kinto.portier.cache_ttl_seconds = 300
# kinto.portier.state.ttl_seconds = 3600

Login flow
----------

OAuth Bearer token
::::::::::::::::::

Use the OAuth token with this header:

::

Authorization: Portier

:notes:

If the token is not valid, this will result in a ``401`` error response.
