Hi, everyone. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
My name is Michał Górny and I'm a first year MSE student at Poznan |
| 4 |
University of Technology. I'm studying power engineering, though most |
| 5 |
of you probably know me as a Gentoo developer and initiator of a few |
| 6 |
big projects lately. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I would like to participate as a student in this year's GSoC, running |
| 9 |
a project of implementing an OpenID server on identity.gentoo.org. |
| 10 |
The goal is to provide a complete OpenID provider using Gentoo LDAP |
| 11 |
authentication and to develop support for using OpenID in Gentoo |
| 12 |
services such as blogs and forums. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The goals include: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- building a complete and secure OpenID server, |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- providing all the options necessary to control OpenID use effectively |
| 19 |
-- including changing permissions given to the sites and controlling |
| 20 |
the data exchanged with them, |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- using OpenID extended attribute exchange to pass Gentoo-specific |
| 23 |
information in the OpenID requests including ACLs for Gentoo services, |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
- using Gentoo LDAP servers for authentication and obtaining user |
| 26 |
information, |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
- supporting multiple authentication mechanisms including: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
a) secure password-based authentication (challenge-response likely), |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
b) client certificate-based auth, |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
c) SSH-based auth, |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
d) GPG-based auth. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
The project will be implemented in django, as an extension |
| 39 |
of the current identity.gentoo.org code [1]. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Do you have any questions or suggestions? |
