[Opensim-dev] Proposal for using OpenID in OpenSim

[SignpostMarv Martin]

My ideas for integrating OpenID with OpenSim ran along the lines of 
using the web login system. The OpenID server itself could run entirely 
separately from OpenSim, then when a user has succesfully authenticated 
with the OpenID protocol, the OpenID server injects an appropriate value 
into the web login field and redirects the browser to a secondlife:// 
(or opensim://) URL that triggers a web-based login.

This way, no OpenID code has to touch the OpenSim code at all, removing 
any problems relating to licensing issues.

As for data portability, I monologued in either AW Groupies or IRC about 
how OpenID Attribute Exchange could be used to link to an inventory 
manifest file, allowing users to take their content with them wherever 
they went on the grid.
