Rack::OpenID

Provides a more HTTP-ish API around the ruby-openid library.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add rack-openid2

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install rack-openid2

You trigger an OpenID request similar to HTTP authentication. From your app, return a "401 Unauthorized" and a "WWW-Authenticate" header with the identifier you would like to validate.

On competition, the OpenID response is automatically verified and assigned to env["rack.openid.response"].

MyApp = lambda do |env|
  if resp = env["rack.openid.response"]
    case resp.status
    when :success
      ...
    when :failure
      ...
    else
      [401, {"WWW-Authenticate" => 'OpenID identifier="http://example.com/"'}, []]
    end
  end
end

use Rack::OpenID
run MyApp

# Session needs to be before Rack::OpenID
use Rack::Session::Cookie

require 'rack/openid'
use Rack::OpenID

get '/login' do
  erb :login
end

post '/login' do
  if resp = request.env["rack.openid.response"]
    if resp.status == :success
      "Welcome: #{resp.display_identifier}"
    else
      "Error: #{resp.status}"
    end
  else
    headers 'WWW-Authenticate' => Rack::OpenID.build_header(
      :identifier => params["openid_identifier"]
    )
    throw :halt, [401, 'got openid?']
  end
end

Everyone interacting in this project's codebases, issue trackers, chat rooms and mailing lists is expected to follow the code of conduct.

This Library adheres to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.

To get a better understanding of how SemVer is intended to work over a project's lifetime, read this article from the creator of SemVer:

• "Major Version Numbers are Not Sacred"

As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a dependency on these libraries using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.

For example:

spec.add_dependency("rack-openid2", "~> 2.0")
