Ruby open_id_authentication with Google OpenID
- by Patrick Daryll Glandien
I am in my first steps of implementing OpenID in my Rails app.
open_id_authentication appeared to be a fairly easy-to-use plugin, which is why I decided to use it.
Logging in with my Google account seems to work perfectly, however I do not get the sreg/AX fields that I require.
My code is currently as follows:
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
def new; end
def create
open_id_authentication
end
protected
def open_id_authentication
authenticate_with_open_id(params[:openid_identifier], :required => ["http://axschema.org/contact/email"]) do |result, identity_url, registration|
if result.successful?
p registration.data
@current_user = User.find_by_identity_url(identity_url)
if @current_user
successful_login
else
failed_login "Sorry, no user by that identity URL exists (#{identity_url})"
end
else
failed_login result.message
end
end
end
private
def successful_login
session[:user_id] = @current_user.id
redirect_to(root_url)
end
def failed_login(message)
flash[:error] = message
redirect_to(new_session_url)
end
end
I have already read various discussions about Google OpenID and all only say that you need to require the AX schema instead of the sreg field email, but even when I am doing so (as you can see in the code above), registration.data will remain empty ({}).
How do I effectively require the email from most OpenID providers with open_id_authentication?
