NAME

       Jifty::Plugin::OpenID - Provides OpenID authentication for your jifty app

DESCRIPTION

       Provides OpenID authentication for your app

USAGE

   Config
       please provide "OpenIDSecret" in your etc/config.yml , the "OpenIDUA" is optional , OpenID Plugin will use LWPx::ParanoidAgent by default.

	   ---
	   application:
	       OpenIDSecret: 1234
	       OpenIDUA: LWP::UserAgent

       or you can set "OpenIDUserAgent" environment var in command-line:

	   OpenIDUserAgent=LWP::UserAgent bin/jifty server

       if you are using LWPx::ParanoidAgent as your openid agent.  you will need to provide "JIFTY_OPENID_WHITELIST_HOST" for your own OpenID
       server.

	   export JIFTY_OPENID_WHITELIST_HOST=123.123.123.123

   User Model
       Create your user model , and let it uses Jifty::Plugin::OpenID::Mixin::Model::User to mixin "openid" column.  and a "name" method.

	   use TestApp::Record schema {

	       column email =>
		   type is 'varchar';

	   };
	   use Jifty::Plugin::OpenID::Mixin::Model::User;

	   sub name {
	       my $self = shift;
	       return $self->email;
	   }

       Note: you might need to declare a "name" method. because the OpenID CreateOpenIDUser action and SkeletonApp needs current_user->username to
       show welcome message and success message , which calls "brief_description" method.  See Jifty::Record for "brief_description" method.

   View
       OpenID plugin provides AuthenticateOpenID Action. so that you can render an AuthenticateOpenID in your template:

	   form {
	       my $openid = new_action( class	=> 'AuthenticateOpenID',
				       moniker => 'authenticateopenid' );
	       render_action( $openid );
	   };

       this action renders a form which provides openid url field.  and you will need to provide a submit button in your form.

	   form {
	       my $openid = new_action( class	=> 'AuthenticateOpenID',
				       moniker => 'authenticateopenid' );

	       # ....

	       render_action( $openid );
	       outs_raw(
		   Jifty->web->return(
		       to     => '/openid_verify_done',
		       label  => _("Login with OpenID"),
		       submit => $openid
		   ));
	   };

       the "to" field is for verified user to redirect to.  so that you will need to implement a template called "/openid_verify_done":

	   template '/openid_verify_done' => page {
	       h1 { "Done" };
	   };

   Attribute Exchange
       You can retrieve information from remote profile on authentication server with
	OpenID Attribute Exchange service extension.

       Set in your config.yml

	   - OpenID:
	      ax_param: openid.ns.ax=http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0&openid.ax.mode=fetch_request&openid.ax.type.email=http://axschema.org/contact/email&openid.ax.type.firstname=http://axschema.org/namePerson/first&openid.ax.type.lastname=http://axschema.org/namePerson/last&openid.ax.required=firstname,lastname,email
	      ax_values: value.email,value.firstname,value.lastname
	      ax_mapping: "{ 'email': 'value.email', 'name': 'value.firstname value.lastname' }"

       this parameters are usuable for all OpenID endpoints supporting Attribute Exchange extension. They can be overriden in your application.
       Watch and/or override "openid/wayf" template from Jifty::Plugin::OpenID::View.

       Or you can use in your view "show('openid/wayf','/url_return_to');".

       ax_param

       is the url send to authentication server. It defines namespace, mode, attributes types and requested attributes.

       hints : MyOpenID use schema.openid.net schemas instead of axschema.org, Google provides lastname and firstname, Yahoo only fullname

       ax_values

       keys of attributes values read from authentication server response.

       ax_mapping

       mapping of receive values with our application fields in json format.
