Feature request: OpenID support #116

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
As more and more users have existing accounts from major OpenID/OAuth 
providers, it's becoming increasingly important to allow them to port those 
identities elsewhere, enabling a simpler, seamless registration process.

They no longer have to remember individual usernames and passwords for every 
site they visit, and the management of that authentication is done elsewhere, 
as well as password management.

Proprietary authentication is starting to become a hinderance to signing new 
users up, and having the functionality to use a Google, Twitter, or Facebook (I 
realize this is not OpenID) account to get people in quickly is becoming a 
necessity for a standard web application.

Currently two yii extensions exist that provide wrappers for LightOpenID - 
eopenid and loid, and there is also an extension for an OpenID selector - 
simpleopenidselector.

These provide most of the necessary code for OpenId Authentication, the rest of 
the work would be leveraging the existing logic used for Facebook 
authentication, and extending the user model to have a set of associated 
OpenIDs, as opposed to a single fb_id.

openId is already prepared and sure will be implemented in a later version of 
yum.
