Hi all,

I have applied two patches provided by Rory Douglas tonight with respect
to repository authentication: One patch has been applied to the
jackrabbit-server module and allows for easy and simple pluggability of
login modules without requiring to export implementation details of
Jackrabbit. See also SLING-852 [1].

The other patch is an extension of the existing OpenID authentication
handler. This patch implements the new LoginModulePlugin interface of
SLING-852 and thus allows for seamless login to the repository using
OpenID without requiring some quirky passwords. See also SLING-839 [2].

With these two patches, we now have decent OpenID support in Sling.
Given this, I think it would also make sense to include this support in
our upcoming "big" release. Therefore I added the openidauth module to
the launchpad/bundles project.

More to come on the Site soon.

At this place, I would like to thank Rory Douglas for his contribution.
Keep up the good work !

Regards
Felix
