[[!template id=plugin name=openid core=1 author="[[Joey]]"]] [[!tag type/auth]] This plugin allows users to use their [OpenID](http://openid.net/) to log into the wiki. The plugin needs the [[!cpan Net::OpenID::Consumer]] perl module. The [[!cpan LWPx::ParanoidAgent]] perl module is used if available, for added security. Finally, the [[!cpan Crypt::SSLeay]] perl module is needed to support users entering "https" OpenID urls. This plugin has a configuration option. You can set `--openidsignup` to the url of a third-party site where users can sign up for an OpenID. If it's set, the signin page will link to that site. This plugin supports the [myopenid.com affiliate program](http://myopenid.com/affiliate_welcome), which can be used to help users sign up for an OpenID and log into your site in a single, unified process. When you create the affiliate, specify a login url like `http://example.com/ikiwiki.cgi?do=continue`. Once the affiliate is created, set `openidsignup` to point to the affiliate's signup url. This plugin is enabled by default, but can be turned off if you want to only use some other form of authentication, such as [[passwordauth]].
