Omniauth::Strategies::CentralLogin

Installation

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omniauth-central_login

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do

    scope: "openid email profile",
    client_options: {
      site: ENV['CENTRAL_LOGIN_URL']
    }
  }
end

Configuration for Devise (using omniauthable):

      self.current_user = find_verified_user
    end
 
    protected
      def find_verified_user
        if current_user = User.find_by(id: cookies.signed[:user_id])
          current_...
