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.
