OpenID Consumer

A Ruby library for verifying OpenID identities.

This library is a port of the Python OpenID library‘s consumer functionality. See www.openidenabled.com/openid/libraries/python for more info on the Python library.

Features

• Easy to use interface (OpenID::OpenIDConsumer)
• Does not depend on underlying web framework
• Supports multiple storage mechanisms (Filesystem, SQL)
• Example code to help you get started
• Test suite

Getting Started

Please read the INSTALL file, and then have a look at the examples directory. A fully functional example using Ruby‘s WEBrick HTTP server library is available. I encorage you to run the example, and have a look at the code.

The library is well documented. To get started, have a look at the example source code(examples/consumer.rb) and OpenID::OpenIDConsumer.

The library and dependancies have been tested using Ruby 1.8, though it may work with earlier versions.
