## Backend class

For Django, add this class path to `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`. For other
integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend
setting.

| Backend name      | Class path                                   |
|-------------------|----------------------------------------------|
| `actionid-openid` | `social_core.backends.ngpvan.ActionIDOpenID` |

[NGP VAN](http://www.ngpvan.com/)’s [ActionID](http://developers.ngpvan.com/action-id) 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`

```python
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:

```python
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
