[[!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 has a configuration option. You can set --openidsignup
to the url of a third-party site where users can sign up for an OpenID. If
it's set, the signin page will link to that site.
This plugin supports the
myopenid.com affiliate program,
which can be used to help users sign up for an OpenID and log into your
site in a single, unified process. When you create the affiliate, specify a
login url like http://example.com/ikiwiki.cgi?do=continue. Once the
affiliate is created, set openidsignup to point to the affiliate's signup
url.
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]].
