Dev OpenID

Things To Do

• I&I: Separate OpenID identities for purposes of comment screening, etc
• I&I: Improve OpenID identity friending
• Allow LJ accounts to associate an OpenID
• Allow OpenID accounts to upgrade to a regular account
• Start requesting email and nick information, etc, from the provider when logging in to automatically fill fields
• The OpenID library has been upgraded to 2.0: http://code.sixapart.com/trac/openid/ and http://code.sixapart.com/svn/openid/ . We'll need to make sure our end is updated to this library and functioning.
• Should maintainers be able to authenticate as a community's OpenID?

Associated OpenID code

Configuration variables that enable or disable server and consumer support.

The function create_view_foaf sets OpenID attributes for the user, but not a community:

$ret .= "    <foaf:openid rdf:resource=\"" . $u->journal_base . "/\" />\n"
        unless $comm;

create_view_yadis

The function create_view_yadis enables YADIS capability discovery.
