Beskrivelse

OpenID is an open standard that allows users to authenticate to websites without having to create a new password. This plugin allows users to login to their local WordPress account using an OpenID, as well as enabling commenters to leave authenticated comments with OpenID. The plugin also includes an OpenID provider, enabling users to login to OpenID-enabled sites using their own personal WordPress account. XRDS-Simple is required for the OpenID Provider and some features of the OpenID Consumer.

Developer documentation, which includes all of the public methods and hooks for integrating with and extending the plugin, can be found here.

Skærmbilleder

Commentors can use their OpenID when leaving a comment
Users can login with their OpenID in place of a traditional username and password
Users authorized to use the OpenID Provider can delegate to a different provider
Users can add additional OpenIDs which they can use to login to WordPress
Users authorized to use the OpenID Provider can monitor which sites they've logged in to

Installation

This plugin follows the standard WordPress installation method:

Upload the openid folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Configure the plugin through the ‘OpenID’ section of the ‘Options’ menu

FAQ

Why do I get blank screens when I activate the plugin?

In some cases the plugin may have problems if not enough memory has been
allocated to PHP. Try ensuring that the PHP memory_limit is at least 8MB
(limits of 64MB are not uncommon).

Why don’t `https` OpenIDs work?

SSL certificate problems creep up when working with some OpenID providers
(namely MyOpenID). This is typically due to an outdated CA cert bundle being
used by libcurl. An explanation of the problem and a couple of solutions
can be found here.

Why do I get the error “Invalid openid.mode ””?

There are actually a couple of reasons that can cause this, but it seems one of
the more common causes is a conflict with certain mod_security rules. See
this blog post for instructions on how to resolve this issue.

How do I use SSL for OpenID transactions?

First, be aware that this only works in WordPress 2.6 and up. Make sure you’ve
turned on SSL in WordPress by defining either of the following
globals as “true” in your wp-config.php file:

FORCE_SSL_LOGIN
FORCE_SSL_ADMIN

Then, also define the following global as “true” in your wp-config.php file:

OPENID_SSL

Be aware that you will almost certainly have trouble with this if you are not
using a certificate purchased from a well-known certificate authority.

How do I get help if I have a problem?

Please direct support questions to the “Plugins and Hacks” section of the
WordPress.org Support Forum. Just make sure and include the tag ‘openid’
so that I’ll see your post. Additionally, you can file a bug
report at http://code.google.com/p/diso/issues/list.

The plugin works great and does help to login to livejournal with OpenID of my site. Just remember to install additional plugin XRDS-Simple. OpenID won't work without it.
