hi,

to support external authentication services like OpenID, OAuth, etc i offer add new plugin call hook type: PRE_AUTHENTICATE. It lets to authenticate without entering login/password and to use native fudforum's redirection to login page. Patch attached. It works for forum.sourcefabric.org

hi Frank,

for sure. Patch attached.

Some hints about plugin. After first call the plugin should redirect to external auth service where user will be authenticated. Then user is returning again to fudforum login where plugin will catch the passed request params (token, identity, etc) and search for user. On exit plugin should return fud_user_reg object.

Great! Your patch was committed: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fudforum/changeset/4950

Can you please also post a working sample plugin that uses PRE_AUTHENTICATE?

Best regards.

so, there is simple but full functional openid plugin. It shows how PRE_AUTHENTICATE hook can be used for openid, oauth or any other custom external authentication services at least your corporate server to provide SSO.
Just change example.com in ini to your host name and you can authenticate via google your users who registered with googl's email address. You can change to any other openid provider but only google returns email. By default providers returns just openid identity.

Thanks! Would you mind if we include it into the next FUDforum release?

Yes, please. It would be good example to show how to use PRE_AUTHENTICATE hook. Thanks.

Your plugin works like a charm! However, I think we should rather move it into core and introduce an admin toggle to enable/disable OpenID logins. We can also add a nifty OpenID selector on the login page. What do you think?

I concur with the admin toggle, like the quick reply function this is an option not everyone would want and even then perhaps not all the time.

well, I think it's a good idea but it requires some additional stuff. Look at sourceforge.net accounting. It uses openid providers to authenticate user and in the account manager you can manage own openid identities (instead of just email). Fudforum Openid plugin can be used with minimal refactoring but in the account manager we have to add new table to handle users openid identities and implement list/add/delete functions. The main idea of implemented openid plugin just show how we can use external authentication (not only openid). For example it could be corporate portal or simply cms.

It would be great if the CURL requirement can somehow be removed.

PS: This works great with Google, but authentication against Yahoo is not really working.

CURL is required for ssl connections. It could be implemented via OpenSSL extension but OpenID library was written by other author and it's working enough.

I said early that just google always returns email and for using properly of openid authentication should use openid identity instead of email. I've explained here http:// fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=119279&goto=162445&#msg_1 62445

I'd like to say that demo plugin is not full functional implementation of openid authentication - it's just a demo which can be used as example.
