OpenID (based on LightOpenId)

Purpose

The OpenId extension for OKAPI is an OpenId wrapper/driver to enable OKAPI to receive OpenId authentication (id provider)
requests and to send authentication requests to an identity provider.

Requirements

Access to the identity provider

Most of the time it is not necessary to be granted access to an idendity provider (authentication server).
But there are many nonpublic identity providers (e.g. M-connect) which will only grant access after registration.
Before trying to get data from these servers, please check for such a restriction.

OpenId library

Since this extension does not implement the OpenId procedure by itself, an external library is necessary.
The LightOpenId library was chosen, since it is very light weight and provided functionality to meet all current requirements.
