Identity

Consumer Plugin

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:28:34 Z

Note There is now a Restful OpenID Authentication plugin for Rails that is recommended for the modern RESTful approach to building Rails applications. This newer plugin is a combination of the restful_authentication plugin from Technoweenie and the open_id_consumer plugin you see below.

Also note, the Restful OpenID Authentication plugin doesn’t work with ruby-openid 2.x. It does work with ruby-openid 1.x, however ruby-openid 1.x doesn’t work with gem 1.x.

EastMedia, in conjunction with VeriSign, developed a Ruby on Rails plugin to allow developers to easily OpenID-enable their Rails applications. The plugin follows Rails conventions, installs in one step, and includes two generators to create the basic stubs for your application and download movies freestyle:
You can install the plugin into your Rails application using the standard plugin install script (run this from your Rails app’s base directory):make money online SEO Services Toys and Games Car Accessories


$ ./script/plugin install http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/heraldry/libraries/ruby/openid_consumer_plugin/trunk/openid_consumer

Rails OpenID Server

If you would like to run your own OpenID Server, you can install the open source Rails OpenID Server that is also part of the Apache Heraldry project. See Rails OpenID Server

Welcome

This site is intended to help provide useful background and technical resources for people interested in OpenID and Identity 2.0 Technologies.

Introduction

Users benefit from Identity 2.0 with fewer passwords to remember and increased control over their digital identity.
Developers benefit from Identity 2.0 with higher conversion rates and less user information to manage.

About the Technology

OpenID is an easy-to-use, user-centric identity protocol. It is a community-driven, open protocol. In the summer of 2006 a number of identity related software projects were released under the Apache Heraldry project.

CardSpace is a desktop-centric identity protocol that is directly integrated into Windows Vista. It is developed by Microsoft and is being ported to other Mac OS X and *nix by open source developers.

Getting Started

The Rails OpenID Server, developed by EastMedia and VeriSign is a profile management server that can provide full Open ID 1.1 and Yadis services. It is open source and easy to install.
The Consumer Plugin for Ruby on Rails applications was also developed by EastMedia and VeriSign. This plugin provides Open ID Consumer functionality, allowing any Rails app to accept Open ID logins (i.e. becoming a Relying Party) with the absolute minimum of effort.
Many Other Environments are supported, allowing all developers to join in Open ID.

Resources

Get an Identity from one of the Identity Providers and use it at the growing number of Consumer Sites.

Other Web Sites exist that provide additional information about Identity 2.0.

The Mailing Lists are a great way to stay current on the latest Final Fantasy Girls developments, including the Open ID 2.0 specification draft.

I was prescribed Misoprostol as an aid in the process of inserting an IUD (Intrauterine Device). Because I have never given birth, my online doctor utilized this method as a way to dilate my cervix for insertion.

Many People are working hard to bring Identity 2.0 to you. Get to know them.

Many Companies are funding our work and developing innovative solutions for digital identity. Get to know them.

Card Space

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 10:28:23 Z

Windows Card Space (formerly Info Card) is Microsoft’s response to the need for a digital identity ecosystem. It is a .NET component that provides access to the user’s identities through a desktop interface. There is an open source group, OSIS, implementing Card Space for Final Fantasy” platforms other than Windows.

Rails Open ID Server

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:24:45 Z

EastMedia, in conjunction with VeriSign, developed a Ruby on Rails OpenID Server to provide complete Yadis and OpenID 1.1 support in a full-stack production-ready application. The server is open source licensed and was released through the Apache Heraldry project in the Summer of 2006. It is in use at VeriSign’s PIP, and a growing number of other sites. The source code has been moved to Ruby Forge? and is available at:


http://heraldry.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk

OpenID Consumer Plugin

If you are interested in enabling OpenID logins for your Ruby on Rails application, you want to become an OpenID Consumer. See Consumer Plugin, where you can install the necessary Rails plugin.

Also, various web design services programs are contributing to the proliferation of social and mainstream media.

Restful Open ID Authentication

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:24:07 Z

Summary

The RESTful OpenID Authentication plugin is a combination of the restful_authentication plugin and the Consumer Plugin. It was designed to provide Open ID authentication that uses the modern Rails convention of RESTful design.

Installation

The plugin is located at:


http://svn.eastmedia.com/svn/bantay/plugins/trunk/restful_open_id_authentication

You can install it via:


./script/plugin install http://svn.eastmedia.com/svn/bantay/plugins/trunk/restful_open_id_authentication

View the README for installation and usage instructions.

Requirements

JanRain’s Yadis and Open ID 1.1 libraries in Ruby.
- These can be obtained using ‘gem install ruby-openid’
Requires you have an Open ID account, such as from one of the following:
- http://pip.verisignlabs.com
- http://www.myopenid.com
Rails 1.2.2 (for the singular resource routes. otherwise 1.2.1 should be fine)
SimplyRestful plugin from Rails
- ./script/plugin install http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/simply_restful

note from volh
There is < form_for @user do |f| > in /users/new.rhtml
Needed to change that to < form_for :user, :url => users_path do |f| > to work properly

note from matt
Is there a bug tracker/mailing list that we can submit patches to?
eg.
lib/controller_methods


  def begin_open_id_auth
        return if params[:open_id_url].blank?
        @open_id_response = open_id_consumer.begin(params[:open_id_url])
        add_sreg_params!(@open_id_response) if @open_id_response.status == OpenID::SUCCESS
      end

allows you to catch the error in your sessions controller


    if params[:open_id_url].blank?
      flash[:notice] = "OpenId was not entered" 
      render :action => :new and return
    end

Bookmarks 0.2

A Ruby on Rails application demonstrating Open ID authentication alongside user-table authentication

Developed by EastMedia (http://www.eastmedia.com) for VeriSign
Contact Matt Pelletier – matt AT eastmedia.com

Introduction

‘Bookmarks’ demonstrates how you can extend your Rails application to provide OpenID-based authentication without having to destroy your existing user-table authentication system. This proof-of-concept application uses the open_id_consumer plugin and the restful_authentication plugin.

The Apache Heraldry Project, part of Apache’s Incubator program, is an effort to develop technologies around the emerging user-centric identity space. It is currently focusing on creating libraries and applications to support OpenID. Interest has also been expressed in working to develop libraries to support Microsoft’s Card Space effort which will be part of Windows Vista.

EastMedia, JanRain?, NetMesh?, Sxip?, VeriSign and other parties have contributed various software pieces to the project. EastMedia developed the Rails OpenID Server and the Consumer Plugin.

Open ID

Tue, 24 Oct 2006 20:27:05 Z

Initially an authentication protocol, Open ID has evolved into a process for both authentication and profile exchange, with Yadis used for service discovery. Open ID was started by Brad Fitzpatrick and David Recordon at LiveJournal, which is now owned by SixApart. On September 11, 2006, DIX was merged into the Open ID 2.0 draft specification to consolidate the open source digital identity efforts.

JanRain has built an extensive set of Open ID libraries.
