    OmniAuth login and registration for Rodauth authentication framework

  • In this article, I show how to set up the rodauth-omniauth gem I had created in a Rails app, and customize the flow. This gem provides a much more integrated solution compared to Devise, in the sense that it implements the OmniAuth callback phase, automatically registering the user and/or logging them in, and persisting their external identities. It supports multiple providers, and essentially codifies this OmniAuth guide.

  • OmniAuth

  • rodauth-oauth

    (Mirror) Roda OAuth and OpenID provider plugin

  • It depends on what you mean by OAuth 2.0. If you want your app to be an OAuth 2.0 provider, then you'd use rodauth-oauth. If you want to enable your users to login through external apps that implement the OAuth 2.0 protocol, then OmniAuth is what you'd use. Not all external apps implement login via the OAuth 2.0 protocol, those that do will have their OmniAuth strategies inherit from omniauth-oauth2.

  • omniauth-oauth2

    An abstract OAuth2 strategy for OmniAuth.
