Abstract

This project aims to add OpenID support to Roller both for user accounts and for those leaving blog comments. Make it so that new and existing users can choose to tie their user account to an OpenID identity and use that for all subsequent logins. And, make it so that bloggers can require that folks login via OpenID before leaving a comment. These features could be implemented by modifying Roller's existing Spring Acegi configuration and/or by documenting how to use a Container Manager Authentication (CMA) configuration, e.g. OpenSSO paired with a Servlet Container. Either way, it is likely that you'll have to write some custom Java code to make this work.
