+OpenIdAuthentication
+====================
+
+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.
+
+The specification used is http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html.
+
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+OpenID authentication uses the session, so be sure that you haven't turned that off. It also relies on a number of
+database tables to store the authentication keys. So you'll have to run the migration to create these before you get started:
+
+  rake open_id_authentication:db:create
+
+Or, use the included generators to install or upgrade:
+
+  ./script/generate open_id_authentication_tables MigrationName
+  ./script/generate upgrade_open_id_authentication_tables MigrationName
+
+Alternatively, you can use the file-based store, which just relies on on tmp/openids being present in RAILS_ROOT. But be aware that this store only works if you have a single application server. And it's not safe to use across NFS. It's recommended that you use the database store if at all possible. To use the file-based store, you'll also have to add this line to your config/environment.rb:
+
+  OpenIdAuthentication.store = :file
+
+This particular plugin also relies on the fact that the authentication action allows for both POST and GET operations.
+If you're using RESTful authentication, you'll need to explicitly allow for this in your routes.rb. 
+
+The plugin also expects to find a root_url method that points to the home page of your site. You can accomplish this by using a root route in config/routes.rb:
+
+  map.root :controller => 'articles'
+
+This plugin relies on Rails Edge revision 6317 or newer.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+This example is just to meant to demonstrate how you could use OpenID authentication. You might well want to add
+salted hash logins instead of plain text passwords and other requirements on top of this. Treat it as a starting point,
+not a destination.
+
+Note that the User model referenced in the simple example below has an 'identity_url' attribute. You will want to add the same or similar field to whatever
+model you are using for authentication.
+
+Also of note is the following code block used in the example below:
+
+  authenticate_with_open_id do |result, identity_url|
+    ...
+  end
+  
+In the above code block, 'identity_url' will need to match user.identity_url exactly. 'identity_url' will be a string in the form of 'http://example.com' -
+If you are storing just 'example.com' with your user, the lookup will fail.
+
+There is a handy method in this plugin called 'normalize_url' that will help with validating OpenID URLs.
+
+  OpenIdAuthentication.normalize_url(user.identity_url)
+
+The above will return a standardized version of the OpenID URL - the above called with 'example.com' will return 'http://example.com/'
+It will also raise an InvalidOpenId exception if the URL is determined to not be valid.
+Use the above code in your User model and validate OpenID URLs before saving them.
+
+config/routes.rb
+
+  map.root :controller => 'articles'
+  map.resource :session
+
+
+app/views/sessions/new.erb
+
+  <% form_tag(session_url) do %>
+    <p>
+      <label for="name">Username:</label>
+      <%= text_field_tag "name" %>
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      <label for="password">Password:</label>
+      <%= password_field_tag %>
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      ...or use:
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      <label for="openid_identifier">OpenID:</label>
+      <%= text_field_tag "openid_identifier" %>
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      <%= submit_tag 'Sign in', :disable_with => "Signing in&hellip;" %>
+    </p>
+  <% end %>
+
+app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb
+  class SessionsController < ApplicationController
+    def create
+      if using_open_id?
+        open_id_authentication
+      else
+        password_authentication(params[:name], params[:password])
+      end
+    end
+
+
+    protected
+      def password_authentication(name, password)
+        if @current_user = @account.users.authenticate(params[:name], params[:password])
+          successful_login
+        else
+          failed_login "Sorry, that username/password doesn't work"
+        end
+      end
+
+      def open_id_authentication
+        authenticate_with_open_id do |result, identity_url|
+          if result.successful?
+            if @current_user = @account.users.find_by_identity_url(identity_url)
+              successful_login
+            else
+              failed_login "Sorry, no user by that identity URL exists (#{identity_url})"
+            end
+          else
+            failed_login result.message
+          end
+        end
+      end
+    
+    
+    private
+      def successful_login
+        session[:user_id] = @current_user.id
+        redirect_to(root_url)
+      end
+
+      def failed_login(message)
+        flash[:error] = message
+        redirect_to(new_session_url)
+      end
+  end
+
+
+
+If you're fine with the result messages above and don't need individual logic on a per-failure basis,
+you can collapse the case into a mere boolean:
+
+    def open_id_authentication
+      authenticate_with_open_id do |result, identity_url|
+        if result.successful? && @current_user = @account.users.find_by_identity_url(identity_url)
+          successful_login
+        else
+          failed_login(result.message || "Sorry, no user by that identity URL exists (#{identity_url})")
+        end
+      end
+    end
+
+
+Simple Registration OpenID Extension
+====================================
+
+Some OpenID Providers support this lightweight profile exchange protocol.  See more: http://www.openidenabled.com/openid/simple-registration-extension
+
+You can support it in your app by changing #open_id_authentication
+
+      def open_id_authentication(identity_url)
+        # Pass optional :required and :optional keys to specify what sreg fields you want.
+        # Be sure to yield registration, a third argument in the #authenticate_with_open_id block.
+        authenticate_with_open_id(identity_url, 
+            :required => [ :nickname, :email ],
+            :optional => :fullname) do |result, identity_url, registration|
+          case result.status
+          when :missing
+            failed_login "Sorry, the OpenID server couldn't be found"
+          when :invalid
+            failed_login "Sorry, but this does not appear to be a valid OpenID"
+          when :canceled
+            failed_login "OpenID verification was canceled"
+          when :failed
+            failed_login "Sorry, the OpenID verification failed"
+          when :successful
+            if @current_user = @account.users.find_by_identity_url(identity_url)
+              assign_registration_attributes!(registration)
+
+              if current_user.save
+                successful_login
+              else
+                failed_login "Your OpenID profile registration failed: " +
+                  @current_user.errors.full_messages.to_sentence
+              end
+            else
+              failed_login "Sorry, no user by that identity URL exists"
+            end
+          end
+        end
+      end
+      
+      # registration is a hash containing the valid sreg keys given above
+      # use this to map them to fields of your user model
+      def assign_registration_attributes!(registration)
+        model_to_registration_mapping.each do |model_attribute, registration_attribute|
+          unless registration[registration_attribute].blank?
+            @current_user.send("#{model_attribute}=", registration[registration_attribute])
+          end
+        end
+      end
+
+      def model_to_registration_mapping
+        { :login => 'nickname', :email => 'email', :display_name => 'fullname' }
+      end
+
+Attribute Exchange OpenID Extension
+===================================
+
+Some OpenID providers also support the OpenID AX (attribute exchange) protocol for exchanging identity information between endpoints.  See more: http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-exchange-1_0.html
+
+Accessing AX data is very similar to the Simple Registration process, described above -- just add the URI identifier for the AX field to your :optional or :required parameters.  For example:
+
+        authenticate_with_open_id(identity_url, 
+            :required => [ :email, 'http://schema.openid.net/birthDate' ]) do |result, identity_url, registration|
+      
+This would provide the sreg data for :email, and the AX data for 'http://schema.openid.net/birthDate'
