Mail.ru OAuth

Backend classes

For Django, choose from these class paths for AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. For other integrations, use the same class paths in the framework-specific backend setting.

Backend name	Class path
mailru-oauth2	social_core.backends.mailru.MailruOAuth2
mailru	social_core.backends.mailru.MRGOAuth2

Mail.ru uses OAuth2 workflow. Register new application to use it and fill in settings:

SOCIAL_AUTH_MAILRU_KEY = ''
SOCIAL_AUTH_MAILRU_SECRET = ''

Add social_core.backends.mailru.MRGOAuth2 to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS to activate Mail.ru authorization.

The mailru backend identifies users by the stable id returned by the userinfo endpoint. Associations created by older social-core releases used the email address and migrate on the next successful authentication. The legacy mailru-oauth2 backend already uses its stable uid field.

Legacy OAuth2 authorization

Also available social_core.backends.mailru.MailruOAuth2 for authorization with connect.mail.ru server.

Create an app and set following settings:

SOCIAL_AUTH_MAILRU_OAUTH2_KEY = ''
SOCIAL_AUTH_MAILRU_OAUTH2_SECRET = ''
