OmniAuth WorkOS Strategy

An OmniAuth strategy for authenticating with WorkOS. This strategy is based on the OmniAuth OAuth2 strategy.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-workos'

If you're using this strategy with Rails, also add the following for CSRF protection:

gem 'omniauth-rails_csrf_protection'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Usage

To start processing authentication requests, the following steps must be performed:

1. Initialize the strategy
2. Configure the callback controller
3. Add the required routes
4. Trigger an authentication request

Authentication hash

The WorkOS strategy will provide the standard OmniAuth hash attributes:

• :provider - the name of the strategy, in this case workos
• :uid - the user identifier
• :info - the user's profile (can be filtered)
• :credentials - token requested and data

{
  :provider => "workos",
  :uid => "prof_01DMC79VCBZ0NY2099737PSVF1",
  :info => {
    :connection_id => "conn_01E4ZCR3C56J083X43JQXF3JK5",
    :organization_id => "org_01EHWNCE74X7JSDV0X3SZ3KJNY",
    :connection_type => "okta",
    :email => "todd@foo-corp.com",
    :name => "Todd Rundgren",
    :first_name => "Todd",
    :idp_id => "00u1a0ufowBJlzPlk357",
    :last_name => "Rundgren",
    :object => "profile",
    :raw_attributes" => {...}
  },
  :credentials => {
    :token => "ACCESS_TOKEN",
    :expires_at => 1485373937,
    :expires => true
  }
}

Filter info fields

To filter the fields in the info object, you can specify them when you register the provider:

provider
  :workos,
  ENV['WORKOS_CLIENT_ID'],
  ENV['WORKOS_CLIENT_SECRET'],
  ENV['WORKOS_DOMAIN'],
  {
    info_fields: %w[email first_name]
  }

Possible values are:

• "all" (default) - don't filter, that is, include all fields
• %w[...] (an array of strings) - the fields to include

Note: field "name" will always be included.

Query parameter options

In some scenarios, you may need to pass specific query parameters to /sso/authorize. The following parameters are available to enable this:

• connection
• organization
• provider
• login_hint

Refer to the documentation to see when and how to use them.

Simply pass these query parameters to your OmniAuth redirect endpoint to enable their behavior.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
