System installation

Hello! We are trying to test helios in a virtual enviroment, but we have some implementation problems. We surpassed the installation process, but now we can’t login to the system. We tried password & google authentication methods and we get the following python error responses:

Using google oauth:

I need some advice in the correct steps to get helios working

Hello @c-urrutia!

I don’t know if this helps you, but I had the same error using google oauth, the problem was only because I hadn’t enabled the People API on console.developers.

Interesting to know that password auth is not recommended. It would be nice to have known that from a comment in the settings.py file. Regardless, I’ve been using password authentication and I haven’t had any issues. @c-urrutia, the reason you are getting a KeyError for password is because your user does not have the password key defined in the json object in the info column for that user.

I use the following command in a shell script where the shell variables ${USER_EMAIL}, ${USER_NAME}, and ${USER_PASS} are set. You can change admin_p to False if you do not want to create an admin account.

echo "from helios_auth.models import User; \
User.objects.create(user_type='password',user_id='${USER_EMAIL}', \
info={'name':'${USER_NAME}','password':'${USER_PASS}'}, admin_p=True)" | \
python manage.py shell

Also, I suspect your google authentication exception is coming from this line. This suggests that either google’s auth api has changed or you’re not sending valid authentication info. I don’t use google auth, so I’m not sure if it still works, but @shirlei suggests that it is.
