Omniauth.params are empty hash (api_only)

[mkralik]

Configuration

• Provider Gem: omniauth-ldap
• Ruby Version: 2.7.4 (Rails API only)
• Framework: Rails 6.0.4.1
• Platform: Ubuntu

Expected Behavior

Authenticate using LDAP provider

Actual Behavior

Getting missing_credentials? error. The request.params is always an empty hash even though I provide username and password in the request body via POST method. I can see the body params when debugging actual controller, but it looks like those params are not passed to omniauth request.

Is POST and Rails API supported - I am not sure if I should continue searching for a solution in my code (spent already a week on that) or this is a bug/out of scope of the current implementation.

Controller:

module Api
  module V1
    module Auth
      class OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController #< ApplicationController#
        include ActionController::Cookies
     
        def ldap
          puts request.env['omniauth.auth'] # => NULL

        end

        def failure
          puts "request.env['omniauth.auth']: #{request.env['omniauth.auth']}" # => NULL
          puts "request.env['omniauth.params']: #{request.env['omniauth.params']}" # => {}
          puts "params: #{params}" # => { "username": "myusername", "password": "mypassword" }

          render json: { status: "fail" }
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Application.rb:

    config.api_only = true
    config.session_store :cookie_store, key: '_interslice_session'
    config.middleware.use ActionDispatch::Cookies
    config.middleware.use config.session_store, config.session_options

Routes.rb:
devise_for :users, controllers: { omniauth_callbacks: 'api/v1/auth/omniauth_callbacks' }

Devise:

config.omniauth :ldap, :host => 'XXX.com',
                :port => 389,
                :method => :plain,
                :base => 'cn=accounts,dc=int,dc=dostack,dc=io',
                :uid => 'uid',
                :try_sasl => false,
                :bind_dn => "uid=XXX,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=int,dc=dostack,dc=io",
                :password => "xxxxxxxx"
