OpenID URL For Drupal 5.x

Posted on 24. May, 2007 by jhuckabee in drupal, openid, web development

I've finally gotten around to creating the 5.x release of the OpenID URL module for Drupal. Check it out!

I actually got to meet some of the guys at JanRain (the company that actually started the OpenID initiative) at RailsConf in Portland. They were demoing their latest OpenID consuming application Pibb which is looking very cool! Email/IM/Chat app rolled into one and built in Rails.

Use Your Drupal Hosted URL As Your OpenID

The new OpenID initiative is shaping up to be pretty cool. I stumbled across OpenID while browsing Reddit this afternoon and signed up for my first OpenID at myopenid.com. After logging into a few sites with my new OpenID, I wondered if there was a way to use my own URL instead of the long one I got from myopenid. Sure enough, it was already thought of, and someone even wrote an article on how it could be done.

Based on that article I knew I could quickly modify an existing Drupal module (GoogleVerify) to enable it on my site. After about 2 minutes of coding, I had the module up and working fantastically!

The module has been submitted as a project on Drupal.org and can be downloaded from the projects page.
