[Opensim-dev] Grid <-> Authentication Service

[SignpostMarv Martin]

On the lines of an "authentication service", I'm doing a similar experiment;

Using OpenID to log into an OpenSim, by way of the web login system: 
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Web_login_code/php5

The basic gist is you go through the usual OpenID authentication 
process, then once it's complete the server alters the web login key in 
the userprofiles table, and sends an appropriate redirection header to a 
secondlife:// URI.

This in effect allows for passwordless login to the server, and you 
could implement a similar process either by supporting OpenID, or 
augmenting your existing system. The advantage of using the web login 
code is that you can either use the Students real names, or allow them 
to pick their own.
