Authlogic - openid

[dirkkelly]

With the new authlogic gem is no longer any openid support. Is the re-integration planned or should we look at sorting this out on our own forks?

Of course, I'm happy to see how I go and submit a patch if this is a planned feature that you haven't had time to look at.

Cheers,
DK

I'm planning to remove user signup since all users will be created and managed by system Admin. So what's the use case for openid?

[ghost]

We use openid as an alternative to having to have remember a password for every application.

An example of this type of implementation can be seen in Redmine, where user signup can be restricted, during creation an administrator can assign the open-id, otherwise a user can edit their own.

Using OpenID for authentication (e.g. password == x) but not registration (e.g. new user) makes sense to me.

I'm closing this issue for now and moving it as a feature request to the Lighthouse.

Cheers Michael, sorry I hadn't been active about keeping up with it.
