Ruby OpenID Library

The Ruby OpenID library, with batteries included.

A Ruby library for verifying and serving OpenID identities. Ruby OpenID makes it easy to add OpenID authentication to your web applications.

This library is a port of the Python OpenID library, and features:

  • API for verifying OpenID identities (OpenID::Consumer)
  • API for serving OpenID identities (OpenID::Server)
  • Consumer and server support for extensions, including simple registration
  • Yadis 1.0 and OpenID 1.0 service discovery, including server fallback
  • Does not depend on underlying web framework
  • Multiple storage implementations (Filesystem, SQL)
  • Comprehensive test suite
  • Example code to help you get started, including:
    • WEBrick based consumer
    • Ruby on rails based server
    • OpenIDLoginGenerator for quickly creating a rails app that uses OpenID for authentication
    • ActiveRecord adapter for using an SQL store in rails

Note: Version 1.x.x releases require the Ruby Yadis Library.

Note: Version 1.9.x releases are release candidates of an OpenID 1/2 implementation. 1.9.x version numbers are used since rubygems doesn't permit the use of 2.0.0rcX versions. 1.9.x is not backwards-compatible with older releases.
