We have a new version of the OpenID4Java library: v0.9.2 that is a full featured and configurable OpenID implementation licensed under the Apache 2.0 open source license.

SXIP Module for Drupal Now Available
26 October, 2004 - 12:02pm
Sxip Networks and Bryght have completed an authentication module for Drupal, Open Source content management software. Drupal's tremendous popularity with online communities makes it a natural fit with Sxip, the first distributed personal digital identity network.
The SXIP module ties into Drupal's existing authentication structure. The module uses the PHP Membersite Development Kit (MDK) and has the following capabilities:
- single sign-on for any user with a SXIP account who can use a "sxip in" button to authenticate with the Drupal site
- if the user has an existing account on the Drupal site (determined by matching email addresses with the SXIP persona), the existing account is re-used
"Working with Sxip has been great. We needed built-in authentication for a large federated deployment that can interoperate with other applications and user bases, and the Sxip Network offered the best means to accomplish this," said Boris Mann, head of business development, Bryght. "Plus Sxip's commitment to Open Source and its extensible protocol made it a good fit."
Further enhancements to include full profile synching and mapping of user information fields will follow in the next few weeks. You can download the SXIP module for Drupal 4.5 at http://www.drupal.org/project/releases.
More information about the Sxip Network is available at sxip.org.
