Django Sign-In with Ethereum Auth


  


    A complete Django authentication system overhaul for Web3. Treat Ethereum wallets as first-class citizens with authentication via Sign-In with Ethereum (EIP-4361) and authorization via on-chain attributes such as NFT (ERC721/ERC1155) and ERC20 token ownership. 

    


    


DISCLAIMER: django-siwe-auth is still in early development (it will change often!)

## About The Project



This app provides four key features for new or existing Django projects.



    

  1. Authentication Backend
    2. 

      

    • Authenticate incoming requests via the Sign-In with Ethereum (EIP-4361) standard.
      • 

    

  2. User Model
    3. 

      

    • Replace original user model with wallet model that is dependent on an Ethereum address.
      • 

    • Removes the liability of storing user credentials in favor of managing transient session data (handled by Django out of the box).
      • 

    • 

      ENS profile information is pulled by default.
      • 

    

  3. Groups
    4. 

      

    • Create custom user groups based on on-chain (or off-chain!) attributes.
      • 

    • For example, we can easily define a group of BAYC owners by validating NFT ownership and subsequently serve them special content that non-owners don't have access to.
      • 

    • This extension builds off of Django's well-defined authorization system.
      • 

    




Below is the included example application that authenticates with an Ethereum address and utilizes on-chain attributes to authorize access to various notepads.



   Example Project

## Getting Started



With the included example applications, you can test out Sign-In with Ethereum along with using and creating custom groups. To get an example application up and running follow these steps.



### Prerequisites



Requirements for developing and running examples apps:

* [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/)

* [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)



### Demo Application



1. Install NPM dependencies

   ```sh

   npm --prefix examples/notepad/frontend install examples/notepad/frontend

   ```

2. Build frontend

   ```sh

   npm run --prefix examples/notepad/frontend build

   ```

3. Install Python dependencies

   ```sh

   poetry install

   ```

4. Set Web3 provider environment variable

   ```sh

   export SIWE_AUTH_PROVIDER="https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/..." # Any provider works

   ```

5. Django migrations

   ```sh

   # Create Django migrations

   poetry run examples/notepad/manage.py makemigrations

   # Apply Django migrations

   poetry run examples/notepad/manage.py migrate

   ```

6. Run server

   ```sh

   poetry run examples/notepad/manage.py runserver

   ```

7. Test application at `https://localhost:8000`

### Rebuild Demo JavaScript

If you make an update to the frontend directory or siwe submodule, rebuild bundle.js:

```sh

cd examples/notepad/frontend \

npm install \

npm run build

```



## Usage



This project is highly configurable and modular allowing for applications to be as simple or complex as required. Authentication and authorization can be completely replaced or supplemented depending upon the use case. See scenario docs for detailed tutorials.

### Install



#### Prerequisites



Requirements for using `django-siwe-auth` in a Django application:

* [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/)

* [django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/intro/install/)

* An existing [Django project](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/intro/tutorial01/)



1. Install package

   ```sh

   pip install django-siwe-auth

   ```

2. Add `siwe_auth.apps.SiweAuthConfig` to INSTALLED_APPS in your project's `settings.py`

   ```python

   INSTALLED_APPS = [

    ...

    "siwe_auth.apps.SiweAuthConfig", # Adds django-siwe-auth

    "django.contrib.admin",

    "django.contrib.auth",

    "django.contrib.contenttypes",

    "django.contrib.sessions",

    "django.contrib.messages",

    "django.contrib.staticfiles",

   ]

   ```

3. Add app-specific definitions to your project's `settings.py` (same files as previous step). For more information, see the Configuring Your Project section

   ```python

   from siwe_auth.custom_groups.erc721 import ERC721OwnerManager

   ...

   # Django Sign-In with Ethereum Auth Settings

   AUTH_USER_MODEL = "siwe_auth.Wallet"

   AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ["siwe_auth.backend.SiweBackend"]

   LOGIN_URL = "/"

   SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 3 * 60 * 60 

   CREATE_GROUPS_ON_AUTHN = False # defaults to False

   CREATE_ENS_PROFILE_ON_AUTHN = True # defaults to True

   CUSTOM_GROUPS = [

       ('ens_owners', ERC721OwnerManager(config={'contract': '0x57f1887a8BF19b14fC0dF6Fd9B2acc9Af147eA85'})),

       ('bayc_owners', ERC721OwnerManager(config={'contract': '0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13D'})),

       ('shib_owners', ERC20OwnerManager(config={'contract': '0x95ad61b0a150d79219dcf64e1e6cc01f0b64c4ce'})),

   ]  # See "Group Plugins" section

   PROVIDER = os.environ.get("SIWE_AUTH_PROVIDER", "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/...")

   ...

   ```

4. Add `api/auth/` endpoint to your project's `urls.py`

   ```python

   urlpatterns = [

    path("admin/", admin.site.urls),

    path("api/auth/", include("siwe_auth.urls")),

    ...

   ]

   ```

5. Run `manage.py makemigrations` and `manage.py migrate` to create custom user model

6. Update frontend to interface with the REST API as defined below. An example frontend is available in the notepad demo.

7. Never handle a password ever again!



For more examples, please refer to the [Documentation](https://github.com/payton/django-siwe-auth)

### Configuring Your Project



#### Relevant native Django settings



```py

# in settings.py

AUTH_USER_MODEL = "siwe_auth.Wallet" # required for siwe as the default authentication

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ["siwe_auth.backend.SiweBackend"] # required for siwe as the default authentication

LOGIN_URL = "/" # optional, django's default is "/accounts/login/"

SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 3 * 60 * 60 # Age of cookie, in seconds. Optional, django's default is weeks.

```



#### django-siwe-auth specific settings

```py

# in settings.py

CREATE_GROUPS_ON_AUTHN = True # optional, default is False

CREATE_ENS_PROFILE_ON_AUTHN = True # optional, default is True

CUSTOM_GROUPS = [] # optional, see "Adding a Group" below

# Set environment variable SIWE_AUTH_PROVIDER for Web3.py

# - Required if CREATE_GROUPS_ON_AUTHN or CREATE_ENS_PROFILE_ON_AUTHN are True. Optional otherwise.

#   Any ethereum API key (infura or alchemy) will work.

PROVIDER = os.environ.get("SIWE_AUTH_PROVIDER", "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/...")

```



#### Override Admin Login Page



In order to login to the django admin page with siwe-auth, we need to override the login template.



```python

# in your app's admin.py, add the following line

admin.site.login_template = 'siwe_auth/login.html'

```



### Group Plugins

A group plugin allows you to define your own group whose membership is defined by the output of a membership function. Some examples of what the membership function may check for include but are not limited to: NFT ownership, ERC-20 token ownership, ENS data, etc.



#### GroupManager Class

All group plugins must implement the GroupManager class. This includes a function called `is_member` that is called to determine group membership when a user authenticates with the server.

```python

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod



class GroupManager(ABC):



   @abstractmethod

   def __init__(self, config: dict):

      pass



   @abstractmethod

    def is_member(self, wallet: object) -> bool:

        pass

```



#### Included Managers



    

  • ERC20Manager

        
      

              
    • ERC20OwnerManager
      • 

          
    

    • 

  • ERC721Manager

        
      

              
    • ERC721OwnerManager
      • 

          
    

    • 

  • ERC1155Manager

        
      

              
    • ERC1155OwnerManager
      • 

          
    

    • 




#### Adding a Group

A custom group is defined by a tuple consisting of a name (string), MemberManager implementation.



The GroupManager's config can be used for anything, but some likely usecases are defining contract addresses or address include/exclude lists.



In your project's `settings.py`, append your group to the `CUSTOM_GROUPS` list added in the installation steps.



Suppose we want to have only one group for `BAYC` (ERC721 NFT) owners and another group for `LPT` (ERC20 Token) owners. Our list would then look like:

```python

from siwe_auth.custom_groups.erc721 import ERC721OwnerManager

from siwe_auth.custom_groups.erc20 import ERC20OwnerManager

...

CUSTOM_GROUPS=[

   ('bayc_owners', ERC721OwnerManager(config={'contract': '0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d'})),

   ('lpt_owners', ERC20OwnerManager(config={'contract': '0x58b6a8a3302369daec383334672404ee733ab239'})),

]

```



## Scenarios (WIP)



Examples:

1. Start a new web app with wallet user model.

2. Replace existing user model with wallet user model (non-trivial).

3. Replace existing user model with weaker wallet user model that implements base model (less non-trivial but still non-trivial).

4. Creating permissions around on-chain based groups.
