This plugin allows users to login to +their local WordPress account using an OpenID, as well as enabling commenters +to leave authenticated comments with OpenID. The plugin also includes an OpenID +provider, enabling users to login to OpenID-enabled sites using their +own personal WordPress account. [XRDS-Simple][] is required for the OpenID +Provider and some features of the OpenID Consumer. + +Developer documention, which includes all of the public methods and hooks for +integrating with and extending the plugin, can be found [here][dev-doc]. + +[open standard]: http://openid.net/ +[XRDS-Simple]: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xrds-simple/ +[dev-doc]: http://wiki.diso-project.org/wordpress-openid-api + +== Installation == + +This plugin follows the [standard WordPress installation method][]: + +1. Upload the `openid` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory +1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress +1. Configure the plugin through the 'OpenID' section of the 'Options' menu + +[standard WordPress installation method]: http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins + + +== Frequently Asked Questions == + += Why do I get blank screens when I activate the plugin? = + +In some cases the plugin may have problems if not enough memory has been +allocated to PHP. Try ensuring that the PHP memory\_limit is at least 8MB +(limits of 64MB are not uncommon). + += Why don't `https` OpenIDs work? = + +SSL certificate problems creep up when working with some OpenID providers +(namely MyOpenID). This is typically due to an outdated CA cert bundle being +used by libcurl. An explanation of the problem and a couple of solutions +can be found [here][libcurl]. + +[libcurl]: http://lists.openidenabled.com/pipermail/dev/2007-August/000784.html + += Why do I get the error "Invalid openid.mode '<No mode set>'"? = + +There are actually a couple of reasons that can cause this, but it seems one of +the more common causes is a conflict with certain mod_security rules. See +[this blog post][ioni2] for instructions on how to resolve this issue. + +[ioni2]: http://ioni2.com/2009/wordpress-openid-login-failed-invalid-openid-mode-no-mode-set-solved-for-both-wordpress-and-drupal/ + + += How do I use SSL for OpenID transactions? = + +First, be aware that this only works in WordPress 2.6 and up. Make sure you've +turned on SSL in WordPress by [defining either of the following][wp-ssl] +globals as "true" in your `wp-config.php` file: + + - FORCE\_SSL\_LOGIN + - FORCE\_SSL\_ADMIN + +Then, also define the following global as "true" in your `wp-config.php` file: + + - OPENID\_SSL + +Be aware that you will almost certainly have trouble with this if you are not +using a certificate purchased from a well-known certificate authority. + +[wp-ssl]: http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL + += How do I get help if I have a problem? = + +Please direct support questions to the "Plugins and Hacks" section of the +[WordPress.org Support Forum][]. Just make sure and include the tag 'openid' +so that I'll see your post.

Commentors can use their OpenID when leaving a comment +2. Users can login with their OpenID in place of a traditional username and password +3.
