Drupal 6.x includes a module for authentication & account creation using OpenID . This seems like a good addition to CUWebAuth for situations where Drupal site contributors will not all have Cornell NetIDs.

OpenID is a decentralized authentication protocol that makes it easy for people to sign up and access web accounts. |
There are many places to get an OpenID, and OpenID provides open source code libraries. I tried Verisign Labs and ClaimID.
I was able to create a Drupal account using am OpenID from Verisign Labs, although the interaction is slow. The interaction with ClaimID was faster, but It failed to create an account.
