It handles the OIDC authorization code flow to authenticate users against external identity services, storing minimal authentication artifacts in your Django session. The library is designed around simplicity and security: it supports custom authentication backend overrides for site-specific logic, has been audited by Mozilla InfoSec, and targets modern Django versions (4.2 through 5.2) with Python 3.10+.\n\nThe package depends on Django, pyjwt, requests, and cryptography to manage JWT token validation, HTTP communication with the OIDC provider, and cryptographic operations. It is primarily used to offload user authentication to a centralized identity provider\u2014useful for single sign-on scenarios, federated authentication, or integration with Mozilla's own authentication infrastructure.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is production-stable, widely used (1.1M monthly downloads), audited by Mozilla InfoSec, and has no known vulnerabilities. However, maintenance is aging (238 days since last release); verify that Django 5.2 compatibility is current for your version before adopting. If you need OIDC authentication in Django and can accept the MPL-2.0 copyleft license, this is a solid choice."},"id":"mozilla-django-oidc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozilla-django-oidc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozilla-django-oidc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mozilla-django-oidc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-19","license_spdx":"MPL-2.0","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"mozilla-django-oidc","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A lightweight authentication and access management library for integration with OpenID Connect enabled authentication services."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1143073,"position":4303,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.0.2"}
