[geeklog-devtalk] [Feature] Distributed Authentication

[Dirk Haun]

Mike,

Okay, I haven't looked at it AT ALL, so please bare with me ...

Right. I was actually hoping to look into TypeKey one day to see if that
would be usable for us. The homepage, <https://www.typekey.com/>, still
says that they will publish documentation some day, but apparently they
already have:

<http://www.movabletype.org/docs/tk-apps.html>

Since you obviously spent some time with Geeklog's authentication
already: Do you think this would be usable?



>So my questions are, is this something that will make it into CVS?


At first view, it seems to make a lot of changes in sensitive places, so
I'm reluctant before I had a chance for a closer look ...



>What kind of timeframe is 1.3.12 on?


The usual: "When its done". Maybe some time in Q1 ...


On a technical note: You included an XML-RPC lib in your patch. Geeklog
1.3.12 already relies on PEAR::XML_RPC for the Ping and Pingback stuff,
so that would not be needed. And PEAR::XML_RPC is pretty much
Usefulinc.com's old XML-RPC lib anyway, so it's 99% compatible.

bye, Dirk
