[Opensim-dev] User Authentication

[Charles Krinke]

Dear Diva:

Thank you for thinking along these lines for the viewer. As this point, folks from SecondLife constitute our largest set of expected new adopters, and I believe keeping compatibility with the SL viewer is to our advantage.

This situation will probably change some time, but I would expect that time to be later this year at a minimum.

Charles

Right. The constraint here, let's not forget, is that we want to
continue to reuse the LL viewer for a while.
I'm going to read that doc about OpenID tokens, but if it requires
participation from the viewer, forget it... We are and will continue to
be in LL Viewer hacking mode in the foreseeable future, abnd I want to
make things safe before a better viewer comes along.

The bottom line question in my email, phrased in OpenID terminology, is
whether we can use the Viewer's IP address as the token.

opensim login code to create the token...
