openid plugin¶

The openid plugin allows user to login to your GNU Mediagoblin instance using their openid url.

This plugin can be enabled alongside basic_auth plugin and persona plugin.

Note

When basic_auth plugin is enabled alongside this openid plugin, and a user creates an account using their openid. If they would like to add a password to their account, they can use the forgot password feature to do so.

Install the python-openid package.
Add the following to your MediaGoblin .ini file in the [plugins] section:
```
[[mediagoblin.plugins.openid]]
```
Run:
```
gmg dbupdate
```
in order to create and apply migrations to any database tables that the plugin requires.
