This feature was present in Clerezza (which in terms of authentication is identical to Stanbol now) till shortly. It's currently disabled because it needs to be ported to the new servlet/jaxrs architecture and adapted to recent changed to the WebID spec. Basically it provided following features: - Associate a WebID to an account - Accept WebID for login - Create WebIDs that are accepted by other systems - Assign some permissions to unknown WebID such as by computing the distance in the social graph I guess the currently disabled code might give a starting point for the WebID support. A difficulty is that webID supports needs interfering with the ssl stack provided by the https server so we needed a special osgi http service. Cheers, Reto
