This directory contains several examples that demonstrate use of the
OpenID library. Make sure you have properly installed the library
before running the examples. These examples are a great place to
start in integrating OpenID into your application.
==Rails example
The rails_openid contains a fully functional OpenID server and relying
party, and acts as a starting point for implementing your own
production rails server. You'll need the latest version of Ruby on
Rails installed, and then:
cd rails_openid
./script/server
Open a web browser to http://localhost:3000/ and follow the instructions.
The relevant code to work from when writing your Rails OpenID Relying
Party is:
rails_openid/app/controllers/consumer_controller.rb
If you are working on an OpenID provider, check out
rails_openid/app/controllers/server_controller.rb
Since the library and examples are Apache-licensed, don't be shy about
copy-and-paste.
==Rails ActiveRecord OpenIDStore plugin
For various reasons you may want or need to deploy your ruby openid
consumer/server using an SQL based store. The active_record_openid_store
is a plugin that makes using an SQL based store simple. Follow the
README inside the plugin's dir for usage.
