A new beta release of Sxipper, our identity manager for the web, is available.

Read what others have to say in some great posts: such as "Sxipper - Man's Best Friend for 2007" Chuck writes, "pushing the envelope with their theories on “identity 2.0, but now they are putting it to good use. I downloaded Sxipper today and it doesn’t disappoint." And "Firefox plugin the gap that Microsoft fails to fill", Sam writes "a great new add-on from Sxip which provides “federated” OpenID login credentials to participating websites."

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.
ABOUT BRYGHT
Bryght sells managed community content and web publishing through their hosted Drupal services. In addition, they provide custom consulting and development services for Drupal-based community solutions.

Beta Release of mod_sxip Apache Module
14 October, 2004 - 12:05pm
Sxip Networks has released a public beta version of mod_sxip, an Apache module that eases Membersite integration with the Sxip Protocol.
mod_sxip is an Apache module that provides a simple way to obtain a Sxip user's shared cookie.
In order to do this, the module performs a transparent redirection to a site on the Sxip network (referred to as the Membersite's shadow domain) and attempts to acquire the value of the shared cookie. If the cookie is not found, a configurable default response is returned.
mod_sxip can be downloaded from here.
