Re: [Mailman-Users] openID enabled mailman
Hi Brad, Can I also take a look at the code that the OpenID folks sent you? It'll be great if you can send me any pointers to that code. I asked on their mailing lists too but haven't received any promising response.

I asked on their mailing lists too but haven't received any promising response. They never made any attempt to build an OpenID provider in Mailman. All they did was hack in some OpenID Relyer code, and in the process they broke any other kind of authentication. Mailman is the wrong place to put an OpenID provider. That needs to go somewhere else, and then you can put in code that allows Mailman to be an OpenID Relyer. Looking at the code might give me an idea about how to start implementing openID support fr the mailman setup I am running, I really don't think so. They and you seem to have very different ideas as to where the OpenID provider code should go. -- Brad Knowles b...@shub-internet.org LinkedIn Profile: http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
[Mailman-Users] openID enabled mailman
Hi I am working on implementing openID server for the mailman setup I am running. I have started using mailman only recently and need help/feedback on my approach. We want to provide the list users an option whether or not to have enable openID. On the page, the users will see an option for 1. Enable/Disable openID login for your subscription 2. Sign in with existing openID login for your subscription *1. Enable/Disable openID login for your subscription* *account* For enabling and diabling the openID feature, the users login their subscribed accounts as they do now for changing any of the subcription options. On this page if they enable the openID feature, they recieve an automated reply with their openID identifier. The password for the openID identifier is the same as that for the subscription accounts. If they change their subscription passwords, their openID password gets changed too. *2. Sign in with existing openID login* The user gets redirected to a page where it enters it's openID identifer and the password and can now manage its account settings with the openID identifier. This authentication and further logging, modification of subscription configurations will be handled by the openID server. As I understand, the *changes that need to be made to the existing mailman code* include the following: Changing the MemberAdaptor.py and UserDesc.py for including information whether or not openID identifier is enabled for a paricular user. Propogating changes made to openID-identified-accounts to the subscription configurations. Changing the webpage interfaces for provinding and allowing users to access these options I want to know if there's already an openID enabled version of mailman available And what files would I need to make changes to include openID support in mailman Thanks Malveeka -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
