Hi Udit
I am Udit Sajjanhar from IIT Kharagpur, India.
I am working on implementing openid login into the opensuse-buildservice.
That is great, nice to have you on board!
A public version of my gsoc proposal is available @ http://sajjanharudit.googlepages.com/openidproposal
Reading through your proposal I wasn't able to read about how the openID capabilities can coexist with the currently used iChain login mechanism in OBS.
I think it would make sense if one could link the current iChain account and one or more openID accounts so that alternative use is possible.
Have you thought about that?
Hm, I am not sure if we need this in our setup. We need anyway to ensure that a user exists in the eDirectory (== iChain) database,
Why is that? Might sound naive, but I think it's time to revisit this question.
Because we use the IDs for refering to other systems (bugzilla for example). We use the login name as key (to map to email address for bugzilla) for refering to the user.
I of course know that. But this argument is weak.
We're not talking about loosing the user identifying strings. For a new implementation it would be mandatory that you can connect your existing iChain account to an openID account. But it would not be mandatory to _have_ an iChain account, an openID would be sufficient. Of course the openID-only variant would loose the bugzilla connect, which is not really used anyway. All other systems can work with the new system.
Well it is used. But you can argument that we enforce to use the iChain account only for some users where we need this. (We need it for maintained packages the contact email address, which is also used for the bugzilla connection).
This would break as long not all other systems would also accept openID at the same point of time.
No.
How would you request the email adresses for these users than ? -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
