Automatically create a User object for an OpenID identifier
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-1563
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1563
Project: Sling
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Justin Edelson
Similar to how CRX supports autocreating User accounts when a successful LDAP
authentication is done
(http://dev.day.com/docs/en/crx/current/administering/ldap_authentication.html#Auto
Creation), it would be nice if the OpenID authentication bundle could support
autocreate a user account under a certain set of circumstances.
* This function should be *disabled* by default.
* Use AX (http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-exchange-1_0.html) to
request a set of user attributes from the identity provider and the
configurable mappings between these attributes and User node properties.
* Since OpenID doesn't support groups, a default set of one or more groups
needs to be specified for new users.
* A regex can be supplied for OpenID identifiers to limit which identifiers
will result in auto-generated User accounts
I'm doubtful that this should be done in the openid auth bundle. An alternative
would be to create a whiteboard to look for implementations of DYU's Listener
interface. Newer DYU versions have AX support via a Listener and I'm pretty
sure the autocreation could be done in a Listener as well.
