openid_server.py is a PyBlosxom plugin that implements OpenID 1.1. OpenID is a distributed authentication protocol, ie a single sign on platform, that uses URLs as identifiers. If you have a PyBlosxom site, this plugin allows you to login anywhere that accepts OpenID. This plugin also implements the Simple Registration Extension, which lets you optionally provide your name, email address, and other information automatically to sites that you log into with OpenID. In OpenID terminology, this plugin acts as an an Identifer and Identity Provider. It provides an endpoint URL, handles OpenID requests on that endpoint, allows associations, and authenticates the user with an HTML form. To use it, first download openid_server.py and openid_libs.zip and place them both in your plugins directory. (openid_libs.zip is a convenient, drop-in package of necessary libraries, provided by JanRain, Yadis, and others. If you don't trust me - and why should you? - feel free to build and install them yourself.)

The following libraries are available to assist with the implementation of an OpenID Identity Server and Consumer. The libraries in this section are intended to help with handling all of the details specific to OpenID and leaving you to provide the glue to integrate it into your site.

OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity. OpenID starts with the concept that anyone can identify themselves on the Internet the same way websites do-with a URI (also called a URL or web address). Since URIs are at the very core of Web architecture, they provide a solid foundation for user-centric identity. The first piece of the OpenID framework is authentication -- how you prove ownership of a URI. Today, websites require usernames and passwords to login, which means that many people use the same password everywhere. With OpenID Authentication (see specs), your username is your URI, and your password (or other credentials) stays safely stored on your OpenID Provider (which you can run yourself, or use a third-party identity provider). To login to an OpenID-enabled website (even one you've never been to before), just type your OpenID URI. The website will then redirect you to your OpenID Provider to login using whatever credentials it requires. Once authenticated, your OpenID provider will send you back to the website with the necessary credentials to log you in. By using Strong Authentication where needed, the OpenID Framework can be used for all types of transactions, both extending the use of pure single-sign-on as well as the sensitivity of data shared. Beyond Authentication, the OpenID framework provides the means for users to share other components of their digital identity. By utilizing the emerging OpenID Attribute Exchange specification (see specs), users are able to clearly control what pieces of information can be shared by their Identity Provider, such as their name, address, or phone number. Today, OpenID has emerged as the de-facto user-centric identity framework allowing millions of people to interact online. With programs such as the I Want My OpenID Bounty, developers of Open Source projects are rapidly adding support for OpenID in order to enable their communities.
