[Opensim-dev] Proposal for using OpenID in OpenSim

[Belxjander Serechai]

I see the whole thing as this,

Login "Doorway" servers for Authentication,
Region "Location" servers for Interactive environment,
Asset "Material Provision" servers for materia in the Location,
Inventory "Owned Posession" servers for usage as "storage lockers"

Each "region" can access "Asset Index" resources on one or more
"Asset" services,
  and each "Client" may have one or more "Inventory" services used,

Viewing an regions may "block" certain Inventory or Asset usage based
on "community standard" for that region,
  similar to the voluntary rating systems for "social taboo" or other
"dont do that here" activities...

each "region" basically becomes like a website,  but the main
difference is any "viewer"/"browser" is able to interact
  with other viewer/browser clients,  similar to passing someone
outside in the real world

Client Login
 Request "Region" using "Doorway" URL
  "Doorway" response needing OpenID at service (page display or other means ?)

Client POST "OpenID at service",
  "Doorway" query "OpenID at service" IsValid()
  "Doorway" response "OTP:session-key:regioninfo"

Client Connect "session-key:regioninfo"
  Client Query "region" <start placement>
  "Region" response feeds "Primitives" and "Assets"

What is stopping pre-loading Assets and prims similar to HTTP pipe-lining?
  or having 2 or more pipelines of loading objects?

Why not have Assets and Inventory referenced by URI and indexed?
  "local objects" like prims are to be kept as part of the server information,
  "Asset" and "Inventory" reference may or may not be "local"

Do you think you could explain your slides on the list here?

It sounds intriguing, and I think a lot of people are thinking along the
same lines, but the details have to be fleshed out more.
