Bug #: 29254
Summary: Expose group memberships for query through OpenID
teams extension
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
URL: https://dev.launchpad.net/OpenIDTeams
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: OpenID
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Many uses for having an OpenID provider on your wiki are to provide an
authentication source that can be used for other sites.
Often these may apply only to a subset of users, for which user groups are
usually a pretty good way to handle it. A foreign site could, for instance,
limit authentication to users on a given site in a given group.
Using the OpenID Teams extension, the relying party can ask whether that group
membership is valid at auth time, and get (at least part of) the list of
available groups back.
I implemented the relying party side for StatusNet's OpenID plugin a while back
for integration with LaunchPad which uses this extension; it shouldn't be too
hard in theory to stick in on the provider side here.
