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 [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-852 [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-839
