# Ruby OpenID

A Ruby library for verifying and serving OpenID identities.

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/openid/ruby-openid.svg)](http://travis-ci.org/openid/ruby-openid)

## Features

* Easy to use API for verifying OpenID identites - OpenID::Consumer
  * Support for serving OpenID identites - OpenID::Server
  * Does not depend on underlying web framework
  * Supports multiple storage mechanisms (Filesystem, ActiveRecord, Memory)
  * Example code to help you get started, including:
    * Ruby on Rails based consumer and server
    * OpenIDLoginGenerator for quickly getting creating a rails app that uses
      OpenID for authentication
    * ActiveRecordOpenIDStore plugin
  * Comprehensive test suite
  * Supports both OpenID 1 and OpenID 2 transparently

## Installing

Before running the examples or writing your own code you'll need to install
the library.  See the INSTALL file or use rubygems:

gem install ruby-openid

Check the installation:

$ irb
    irb> require 'rubygems'
    => false
    irb> gem 'ruby-openid'
    => true

The library is known to work with Ruby 1.9.2 and above on Unix, Max OS X and Win32.

## Getting Started

The best way to start is to look at the rails_openid example.
You can run it with:

cd examples/rails_openid
    script/server

If you are writing an OpenID Relying Party, a good place to start is:
`examples/rails_openid/app/controllers/consumer_controller.rb`

And if you are writing an OpenID provider:
`examples/rails_openid/app/controllers/server_controller.rb`

The library code is quite well documented, so don't be squeamish, and
look at the library itself if there's anything you don't understand in
the examples.
