OpenID Context Provider
The motivation for creating this context provider was to experiment with OpenID integration and interoperability. There was not a customer demand, nor are there currently customers using this CP in production.
How it Works
Compatible OpenID Providers
Because authentication methods are a part of the OpenID specifications this context provider may require configuration changes before it interoperates with a given OpenID Provider.
Configuration
NOTE: The OpenID Context Provider configuration XML file format was designed to be used to configure any number and type of Context Providers. Other Higgins Context Providers contributed by Novell currently use this same format. Work is currently underway which may change or eliminate this method of CP configuration.
The OpenID Context Provider is configured through an XML file whose format is specified by the following XML schema:
Limitations
IdAS
This Context Provider is not a full featured CP, it implements only enough of the IdAS interfaces to allow reading of Digital Subjects and their associated attributes. There is no support for updates, metadata on any object, or schema.

Future Plans
- Continue to add support for additional OpenID Providers
- Expand unit tests to include providers which support Attribute Exchange
- Visit and cleanup all Todo statements in code
- Finish Javadoc
