Lifescience AAI

Backend class

For Django, add this class path to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting.

Backend name	Class path
life_science	social_core.backends.lifescience.LifeScienceOpenIdConnect

Lifescience’s OpenID Connect (OIDC) backend requires the following minimum configuration:

SOCIAL_AUTH_LIFESCIENCE_OIDC_KEY = '<client_id>'
SOCIAL_AUTH_LIFESCIENCE_OIDC_SECRET = '<client_secret>'

Scopes

The default scopes will include the user’s email. You can request additional claims, for example:

SOCIAL_AUTH_LIFESCIENCE_OIDC_SCOPE = ['eduperson_entitlement']

and you can prevent the inclusion of the default scopes using:

SOCIAL_AUTH_LIFESCIENCE_OIDC_IGNORE_DEFAULT_SCOPE = True
