I am using django session data in order to verify that oauth_2 authentication has succeeded. However, django is not saving session data between views.
@never_cache
def login(request):
microsoft = OAuth2Session(client_id,scope=scope,redirect_uri=redirect_uri)
global state
authorization_url, state = microsoft.authorization_url(authorization_base_url)
# State is used to prevent CSRF, keep this for later.
request.session['oauth_state'] = state
return HttpResponseRedirect(authorization_url)
@never_cache
def authorization(request):
print(request.session.get('oauth_state')) ##This is where I'm having a problem. 'oauth_state' prints none!
microsoft = OAuth2Session(client_id,scope=scope,redirect_uri=redirect_uri)
token = ""
try:
users = 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me' ##msgraph query url-
##This query is purelyjust used to
##authenticate user!
token = microsoft.fetch_token(token_url, client_secret=client_secret,code=request.GET.get('code', ''))
header = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token['access_token']}
response = requests.get(url = users, headers = header)
print(response.text)
print(response.status_code)
if int(response.status_code) != 200: ##if status code is not 200, then authentication failed. Redirect to login.
print ('Not validated. Return to login.')
return redirect('http://localhost:8000/login')
check_for_authorized = True
print(token)
except Exception as e:
print ('User not does not have authentication rights')
return redirect('http://localhost:8000/login')
return HttpResponseRedirect('http://localhost:8000/search')
Look at the comment beside my print state under the first line of authorization. Why do you think this is? Shouldn't session data be shared between views.
