OpenID/MIT/Touchstone authentication #101

Open edemaine opened 7 years ago

It'd be cool (especially for classes) if we could log in using MIT ~~certificates~~ Touchstone instead of creating a new Coauthor-specific account. This will be great for MIT classes, and bulk subscriptions.

There's now an OpenID interface to MIT Touchstone which should make this relatively easy.

The major browsers want to kill client certificates. Touchstone authentication (using the Kerberos password or tickets) still addresses the anyone-with-an-MIT-account deal.
