XOOPS: XOOPS OpenId integration first preview

Posted by: pemenOn 2007/7/1 21:40:00 8640 reads

I'm proud to announce the first preview of the Openid URL based identity system.

When the Openid protocol will be completly integrated in the XOOPS Core, you will use the same Openid URL to login easily in all XOOPS websites that support Openid.
This is the end of recurrent XOOPS registration because it support the simple registration extension.

Please have a look at this preview and give me return of your tests on the XOOPSPRO Forum

The Test is here :

Very good work indeed - this is certainly a promising addition to the LDAP code you've already contributed to the Core.

Only question - will you support some way for existing registrations to update to an OpenID one?

Now this is very cool.

mmmm here is what I'd like to happen with XOOPS, probably won't but.....

OPENID be integrated not only in your method where you register at OID, but also so XOOPS can run it's own OID server.

I suppose this could be done as a module or part of the core.

An OID server can be installed as a php script, use mysql and smarty, all of which XOOPS also uses.

I'm sure your aware of this, but thought I'd mention this anyway.

Just in case anyone is wondering why XOOPS should or could have it's own integrated OID server, well that's simple, if you run a network of websites, then you don't want to send someone to a place outside your network, you want user/customer retention, and by keeping them in one network your retention rates can be higher.

Also good for intranets this way.

So it could and most likely will promote XOOPS to larger corporations, businesses, non-profit organisations, etc, etc.

Sorry forgot to add,

Thank you pemen, please keep up this outstanding work, this will give many XOOPSers a solution to multi-site users.

Thanks once again

ewonline - being able to log into XOOPS sites, media wiki sites, drupal and plone sites with a single login - it is very impressive

Re: XOOPS OpenId integration first preview

one question I have though.........

If you already have say 10 XOOPS sites and someone is registered to everyone of them, and you then introduce openid, can you assign each of these accounts to one OpenID?

As this is something I'd really like having with so many sites, I have others that are not XOOPS too and I'm sure other XOOPS users do too.

Thanks for any advice.

Sounds great, a worldwide LDAP ;) The only downside I see is the security of all the stored usernames/passwords, email adresses etc. In what way is that covered?

Very good. Just curious, what happen if the OpenID host is offline?

Re: XOOPS OpenId integration first preview

Hi Red_bee

This is another reason I'd like to see XOOPS core adopt the OID as a server too, so XOOPS webmasters can create their own OID for their own websites.

I believe they can also be verified with Openid.com too, but not 100% sure on that.

As mentioned an OID server can be done via php, smarty and mysql, all of which XOOPS uses.

By offering a server option within the core, this would give so many more opportunities to businesses and larger organisations too.

2 years ago, there was an "OpenID" discussion on the japanese community forums... And some time ago Sakimura develop an OpenID solution for XOOPS 2.0.16 JP

You're aware of web services creating a "temporary mail"... Well, the same exist for OpenID. Just do some search out there.

Maybe you should focus on the core and fix it.
Then think and plan any extra optional feature.

Simple answer is "Yes".

See my sites:

http://www.sakimura.org/en/
http://www.marimba.org/en/

etc.

They all had XOOPS account system, and they are tied through OpenID.
