I needed an easy way for friends and family to log into my gallery, without me having to provision users for everyone.
So I came up with the OpenID+ plugin. In short, the plugin for Gallery3:
- Provides a single form for normal gallery log in and for OpenID login
- Automatically provisions user accounts using as much information as it received from the OpenID provider
- Ties the OpenID identifier to the Gallery3 user through a separate table, allowing gallery users and OpenID users to coexist.
- Allows users to login with their Facebook or Microsoft (Hotmail, Live, Outlook.com, MSN, etc.) accounts.
- Provides administration options for changing the order and visibility of login providers
My philosophy is that pictures are private, and should be treated as such. Connections to 3rd parties are used only insofar as to authenticate the user. Once authenticated, no other connection is used.
