OpenID Authentication

Provides a thin wrapper around the excellent ruby-openid gem from JanRan. Be sure to install that first:

gem install ruby-openid

To understand what OpenID is about and how it works, it helps to read the documentation for lib/openid/consumer.rb from that gem.

More information and usage/integration instructions are available here. You may also want to take a look at the OpenID 2.0 Specification.
