Hi!
I just created the page
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/SingleSignOn where I'll document
everything regarding my Single Sign-On project.
Since I didn't get any feedback the last time I asked this question I'll ask
it again:
Another question. Just looking at OpenID now. What are the plans for it?
Should it be enabled by default? Should it be possible to turn it off?
I would like to see OpenID support out of the box. I don't know if it makes
sense to turn it off.. What happens with existing OpenID users if someone
turns it off?
Should we really start with the integration of a big framework like OpenSSO?
Wouldn't it be better to implement OpenID support for example with a
dedicated OpenID
library? We should also consider the fact that ESOE for example simple uses
the OpenID4Java library and OpenSSO doesn't support OpenID (authentication)
at all.
I think it's much easier for the user if everything is bundled with XWiki so
that he doesn't need to install any other component or complex service like
ESOE or OpenSSO.
If it's OK for you I would start creating the architecture and describe
detailed how I would like to implement OpenID support with a OpenID library
the next days. Then ask for some feedback on that and finally begin to
implement this. My last exam is next Monday (July, 7th) so afterwards I'm
finally free to work exclusively for XWiki :-)
Cheers,
Markus
