open_id
Highly flexible OpenID based authentication middleware
The open_id module is accessible via the authkit.authenticate module.
Note
If you want to test this module feel free to setup an account at passurl.com. The site is in alpha and any accounts will be deleted before launch but it might help with testing.
Full documentation on the use of this OpenID module is in the AuthKit manual.
Warning
Any data returned from an OpenID identity provider is stored in the cookie user data. This is not encryted when sent to the browser (unless you are using a secure connection). Whilst this is unlikely to be a major problem in your application it is something to be aware of.
This middleware actually sets two cookies, one for AuthKit and one for a session store to store the ID which OpenID information is keyed against.
