Hello.
Does XWiki support OpenID authentication yet?
It would be natural, since a wiki is asually an additional service of some
big portal.
E.g. a business portal, a gaming portal, a scientific portal.
I know you have LDAP authentication, but LDAP is for Enterprise only - i.e.
for LAN only.
And for Internet you need OpenID.
Do you have OpenID authenticator implemented?
Or are you planning on it?

There is no openID code implemented at this time. There was a third
party extension contributed but it was long enough ago that the
authentication/registration code has evolved enough to make it
incomparable without some changes.
You can find more information (and the plugin itself) here:

Please, why do you say that LDAP is for LAN only? Just trying to improve
my knowledge about authentication services!
Thanks!

Hello Ricardo,
I'm not a LDAP expert, but I used to work with it, and, to be honest, I just
can't stand all these "Corporate Standarts".
They are inadequate.
The whole "Enterprise" is inadequate.
In contrast with LDAP, OpenID emerged on the, uh, Internets.
Just be honest with yourself: LDAP sucks.
In the XXI century we don't need monsters no more.

Sorry, what "Enterprise" you are talking about? And why "corporate"
and
synonymous of bad?

Well, As I am not an expert neither, I have few arguments debate here.
The point for me is that LDAP is helping me right now to get what I need
by using a Directory Service to authenticate XWiki users. The same
directory service is controlling a relatively big number of services as
email, different kinds of access to a traditional file system, X
terminals on Suse Linux servers,...
I don't see it like a monster. I guess it depends on what your are using
of the whole standard. The point is not only authenticate, but to
services and uses integrated and managed under the same umbrella. Here,
eDirectory is used to manage the directory service and LDAP the way I am
communicating the directory with XWiki. I consider both pieces as the
foundation of our still little system.
In any case, I think you must take a look at...
http://webid.myxwiki.org
Sergiu Dumitriu point me in that direction some days ago talking about
the problem of getting cross-authentication in a farm. I'm receiving a
temporally unavailable server error; I'm sure will be online again soon.
Cheer!
