[xwiki-users] OpenID
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: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2588 Caleb Николай Кучумов wrote:

Please, why do you say that LDAP is for LAN only? Just trying to improve my knowledge about authentication services! Thanks! -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC. Life Sciences, Data Modeling and Information Management Systems
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. 2010/9/10 [Ricardo Rodriguez] eBioTIC. <[email protected]>

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! Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC.
