NGP VAN ActionID¶

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
`actionid-openid`	`social_core.backends.ngpvan.ActionIDOpenID`

NGP VAN’s ActionID service provides an OpenID 1.1 endpoint, which provides first name, last name, email address, and phone number.

ActionID doesn’t require major settings beside being defined on AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS

SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    ...
    'social_core.backends.ngpvan.ActionIDOpenID',
    ...
)

If you want to be able to access the “phone” attribute offered by NGP VAN within extra_data you can add the following to your settings:

SOCIAL_AUTH_ACTIONID_OPENID_AX_EXTRA_DATA = [
    ('http://openid.net/schema/contact/phone/business', 'phone')
]

NGP VAN offers the ability to have your domain whitelisted, which will disable the “{domain} is requesting a link to your ActionID” warning when your app attempts to login using an ActionID account. Contact NGP VAN Developer Support for more information
