Is anyone working on the integration of OpenID? I see it's a feature request, but wasn't sure if anyone was actuall working on it. http://www.openid.net

not that we have heard of and that's a strong sign that there's actually noone doing it right now.
Want to work on it?
We an maybe give you some directions.

Also note that we'll have an intern working on LDAP integration which has also a lot to do with modular authentication.

I might start on this soon as the need has since arisen on my site. Any pointers would be appreciated. I already have an svn checkout or 3 of the project, so I can start wading through the code.

Has anyone else seen whobar? (http://whobar.org)

It looks like a possible integration piece to help improvements to authentication along.

Any updates on LDAP/generic auth?

g2 has now auth plugins. you can create a ldap module for g2 that implements an auth plugin.

Looks like the auth plugin bit doesn't really help the openid module idea along, even the ldap idea has a way to go in terms of getting a userid/password passed on.

If I'm not mistaken, the GalleryEmbed stuff looks better geared to take the results of an openid transaction and run with it. Still, not sure how to get someone to an openid friendly login screen without introducing another hook at that point.

I haven't tried to integrate with ldap or openid yet.
What's missing, where are you blocked?

I'm working on phpbb-openid, hoping to start working on g2openid as well.

Awaiting response wrt OpenID Bounty eligibility.

I'm also interested in this (having OpenID integrated into Gallery2) so I thought I would give this thread a ping. +1 Vote from me.

Is damnian the same person as:
http://codex.gallery2.org/User:Jablko
?

There appears to be some activity in the gallery-contrib area, including some code (I haven't gotten around to trying it yet)

No, jablko is jablko. He said he'd do it, so I gave way.

have just looked at the source and tried it out, it doesn't look functional, but there is some text there saying that Windows isn't a good source of randomness. I am on Windows.

It did ad an OpenId option in the site admin, but other than that I could see no visible differences, even on the login screen.

I am also having problems displaying anything beyond the tab in site admin. In that tab everything looks like it's working right...
Randomness Source

The module will try to access '/dev/urandom' as a source of random data. It seems to exist and be readable. Here is some hex data: 6307217be902.

XML Support

XML parsing support is present using the Services_Yadis_dom interface.

HTTP Fetching

This PHP installation has support for libcurl. Good.
An HTTP request was completed.
so, I'm not sure what is going on, but I can say it's not just you. I hope to have some time to work on this before the new years.

so, I have already had a chance to look through the plugin a little; it seems that there is no way to make an openid module for gallery2. If we get lucky, the hooks will be in the register module to support OpenID... it would also be nice if there was a hook in User Preferences so I can change my existing account to OpenID; but something is better than nothing.

Hello!

What's the current status? OpenID is not among the standard modules available with 2.3, but if it is "almost" ready, I'd be happy to try it... My primary audience are LJ-users and allowing them to sign-in using their LJ-credentials would've been quite wonderful... Thanks!
