Features

Using django_openid, you can:

• Ask a user to log in with OpenID, and perform a custom action once their identity has been confirmed.
• Persist a user’s identity (using either sessions or a signed cookie) so that they can log in once with their OpenID before accessing other pages of your site.
• Request additional information about the user from their OpenID provider, such as their preferred nickname, e-mail address or date of birth, using the sreg OpenID extension.
• Accept both versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the OpenID protocol.
• Allow users to sign in to their django.contrib.auth User accounts using an OpenID, or associate one or more OpenIDs with their existing account.
• Give your users OpenIDs hosted by your own site, by acting as an OpenID provider.
