{{ plugin:openid.png?300|The OpenID login form}}

This plugin allows users to log in through the [[http://openid.net|OpenID]] system. The plugin implements a very simple OpenID Consumer in "dumb" mode. No server components are implemented.

===== Download =====

  * {{:plugin:openid-plugin-2008-01-25.tgz}} - compatible with current devel version. fixes problems with form insertion, logout and delegation
  * {{plugin:openid-plugin-2007-01-09.tgz}} - initial version
  * [[http://dev.splitbrain.org/darcs/dwplugins/openid/|darcs repo]] ([[http://dev.splitbrain.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=dwplugins/openid;a=summary|Web]])

===== Notes =====

  * The logged in users are completely virtual, the login is only stored in Cookies and Session
  * The username is the OpenID URL identifier
  * OpenID users are members of the default group (usually ''user'') and a new group ''openid''
  * Using ACLs on such OpenID URLs might not work (not tested)
    * **User comment**: ACLs seem to work fine on my install. Just enter the user's URL when creating an ACL entry, and be sure not to forget the trailing slash at the end.
  * This was not tested with any other auth backend than the default one
  * This plugin is not installed at wiki.splitbrain.org -- I'm not yet sure if it will

===== Feature Requests =====

  * Ability to assign OpenID users to additional groups.
  * Option to completely disable non-OpenID logins.
