Plugin: openid

This plugin allows users to use their OpenID to log into the wiki.

The plugin needs the Net::OpenID::Consumer perl module. Version 1.x is needed in order for OpenID v2 to work.

The LWPx::ParanoidAgent perl module is used if available, for added security. Finally, the Crypt::SSLeay perl module is needed to support users entering "https" OpenID urls.

This plugin is enabled by default, but can be turned off if you want to only use some other form of authentication, such as passwordauth.

options

These options do not normally need to be set, but can be useful in certian setups.

• openid_realm can be used to control the scope of the openid request. It defaults to the cgiurl (or openid_cgiurl if set); only allowing ikiwiki's CGI to authenticate. If you have multiple ikiwiki instances, or other things using openid on the same site, you may choose to put them all in the same realm to improve the user's openid experience. It is an url pattern, so can be set to eg "http://*.example.com/"

• openid_cgiurl can be used to cause a different than usual cgiurl to be used when doing openid authentication. The openid_cgiurl must point to an ikiwiki CGI, and it will need to match the openid_realm to work.
