Topic: openid

openid is growing and sourceforge.net now implemented it. i thing openid would be a great addition to vhffs and tuxfamily

Re: openid

Probably, we need someone motivated to implement it. This is something quite easy that don't need the understanding of the whole thing.

By the way, OpenID works only (AFAIK) for web services, the only web "service" that we offer is the panel (and the webmails, for the few who are using them)...

I've quickly googled for "OpenID PAM" and I found http://code.google.com/p/pam-openid/, which suggests you can use OpenID to authenticate SSH connections, too :)

Yes, without any problem, lets check:

http://code.google.com/p/pam-openid/updates/list  : no updates
http://code.google.com/p/pam-openid/w/list  : empty
http://code.google.com/p/pam-openid/downloads/list  : empty
http://code.google.com/p/pam-openid/issues/list  : no issue... woa!, I never seen such a perfect project!
http://code.google.com/p/pam-openid/source/list  : one commit, yeahhhh... since 2006... to add the initial directory structure...

Lets check if someone packaged this project:
$ apt-cache search pam | grep openid
$
Humm, quite an empty answer... I guess no one want to package this project, this is strange because this is the most stable project I know.

Wonderful! ;-)

Well, we don't really like providing that, this is unpleasant, unreadable, difficult to follow, we can't use the $EDITOR to write, ...

We used to provide a NNTP service to do that, and this is way more comfortable than a f* web interface. But no one or just a few seem to use that nowadays.

So the less work to maintain it, the more happy we are ;-)
