NGP VAN ActionID¶

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
