hancock

It's like your John Hancock for all of your company's apps.

A lot of this is extracted from our internal single sign on server at Engine Yard. We use a different datamapper backend but it should be a decent start for most people.

Features

An OpenID based Single Sign On server that provides:

• a whitelist for consumers
• integration with the big ruby frameworks(rails,merb,sinatra)
• sreg parameters to consumers(first name, last name, email, identity_url)

How it Works

This handshake seems kind of complex but it only happens when you need to validate a user session on the consumer.

Installation

% gem sources
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***

http://gems.rubyforge.org/
http://gems.engineyard.com
http://gems.github.com

You need a few gems to function

% sudo gem install dm-core do_sqlite3
% sudo gem install sinatra guid rspec ruby-openid

You need a few more to test, including sr's fork of webrat

% sudo gem install selenium-client rspec
% git clone git://github.com/sr/webrat.git
% cd webrat
% git checkout -b sinatra origin/sinatra
% rake repackage
% sudo gem uninstall -aI webrat
% sudo gem install pkg/webrat-0.4.2.gem

Plans

• configurable sreg parameters to consumers
• signup with email based validation
• single sign off
• some kinda awesome oauth hooks
• simpledb integration, srsly
