Here is a quick and easy step by step to add OpenID support to your application. We are using joid because it's the lightest weight implementation with the least number of dependencies (2 jars).
- Download joid from http://code.google.com/p/joid/
- Copy joid.jar, log4j-*.jar, and tsik.jar to your lib directory (so they end up in WEB-INF/lib).
- Add OpenIdFilter to your web.xml (see below for how to add it)
- Add OpenId login form (see below for a sample jsp page)
After a user logs in, you can access the username that they're signed in as with:
String loggedInAs = OpenIdFilter.getCurrentUser(session);
Simple huh?
OpenIdFilter for web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>OpenIdFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.verisign.joid.consumer.OpenIdFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<description>Optional. Will store the identity url in a cookie under "openid.identity" if set to true.</description>
<param-name>saveInCookie</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<!--
<init-param>
<param-name>cookieDomain</param-name>
<param-value>www.mydomain.com</param-value>
<description>Optional. Domain to store cookie based on RFC 2109. Defaults to current context.</description>
</init-param>
-->
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>OpenIdFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

String returnTo = UrlUtils.getBaseUrl(request);
if (request.getParameter("signin") != null) {
try {
String id = request.getParameter("openid_url");
if (!id.startsWith("http:")) {
id = "http://" + id;
}
String trustRoot = returnTo;
String s = OpenIdFilter.joid().getAuthUrl(id, returnTo, trustRoot);
response.sendRedirect(s);
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();

If you are interested in running an OpenID server local during developing, check out Atlassian's Crowd which can be setup as a standalone OpenID server in less time than the download:

I'm going to guess that the 1.0.3 jar is not on your classpath since it's not even finding the packages.

After a user logs in, you can access the username that they're signed in as with:
String loggedInAs = OpenIdFilter.getCurrentUser(session);
Simple huh?

ReplyDeleteI’m using joid to authenticate openid for gmail,
ReplyDeletemyopenid is working fine and used for yahoo authentication, yahoo
displays error saying this is Sorry! You will not be able to login to
this website as it is using an older version of the OpenID technology.
Yahoo! only supports OpenID 2.0 because it is more secure.
What should I do…? Plz help me to solve this….
Do you have any Maven repository for this? One more Are you updating your jar as i saw from June 2012 there is no updates
