OpenID support for DirectAdmin?

[truenegative]

Do you guys think its possible to write a plugin so that DA will support OpenID login? For instance, allowing users to log in with their OpenID username/password and get access to their account. Seems to be a pretty cool way of implementing SSO over the internet.

Thoughts?

I am not sure how the plugins allow you to change this method, I don't think it is possible.

If I would do something like that, I'd create an additional interface which takes advantage of the API DirectAdmin provides. OpenID is a single user authentication method; this is different to the way DirectAdmin has been designed, with having multiple users for several domains. We have customers who use several users instead of a reseller package. If DirectAdmin should allow this kind of usage it would probably require a large rewrite.

For client logins DirectAdmin simply uses the system built into the OS; DirectAdmin users are either Linux users or FreeBSD users.

It would be close to impossible at best to use otherwise because then DirectAdmin would have to abandon the entire Posix security model.

So contact your Linux and FreeBSD OS distribution providers and tell them .

What's SSO?
