[[!template id=plugin name=openid core=1 author="[[Joey]]"]] [[!tag type/auth]]

This plugin allows users to use their OpenID to log into the wiki.

The plugin needs the [[!cpan Net::OpenID::Consumer]] perl module. Version 1.x is needed in order for OpenID v2 to work.

The [[!cpan LWPx::ParanoidAgent]] perl module is used if available, for added security. Finally, the [[!cpan Crypt::SSLeay]] perl module is needed to support users entering "https" OpenID urls.

This plugin is enabled by default, but can be turned off if you want to only use some other form of authentication, such as [[passwordauth]].
