Hi, I tried integrating open id with a phpbb forum i set for a personal project. I initially tried phpBB openid module from zenor soft. http://www.zenorsoft.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=841
for some reasons it did not work for me.. so i modified it, and simplified it so that there is no MOD installing required and the usability is simple as described below. 1. The user has to first register in the forum with either yahoo or gmail id. 2. After his account is activated, he can click on the yahoo or google icon which i display in the home page or login page. 3. he will be taken to yahoo or google authentication page, and once he approves his authentication there, he will be redirected back to the forum page. 4. If he is successfully authenticated, his email would be obtained from AX data returned by yahoo or google. 5. and in my code, i will check if the email is already registered. If so, he will automatically signed in. 6. If the email is not already registered, appropriate error message displayed. I am not sure of any security flaws in the above method. But i implemented it in my forum, and the feedback from the users has been positive.. I can share the code to any one who wanted to implement in their own forum. NOTE: I used janrain library for the same. it is not a full-fledged module for phpbb.
