Integrate Labwiki with GENI Portal using OpenID

[johren@bbn.com]

Labwiki will use OpenID to authenticate the user using their GENI Portal account.

Jack will work with Tom and Aaron to interface with the Portal's OpenID provider.

Email from Tom Mitchell on 6/15: Hi Jack,

Our OpenID provider URL is ​https://portal.geni.net/server/server.php . I can provide additional info if you need it, but that should be all we need to establish a connection.

In order for you to use it, you'll need an account on the GPO Identity Provider. You can apply for an account at ​https://portal.geni.net/idp/request.html

Cheers, Tom

Thanks Tom. Already applied for the account and waiting for the outcome. I will let you know after the testing.

Integration with generic OpenID auth has been implemented in Labwiki, and has been deployed here: 221.199.209.241:4000

It has been tested with Google OpenID and accounts from myopenid.com (another openid provider).

The issue left is that GENI's OpenID server is not redirecting to labwiki correctly due to its internal setup, it has been confirmed by Marshall and Tom.

Shall we resolve this ticket and open a new one regarding GENI's openid server, or just leave it as it is.

We can leave this ticket open and reassign it to Aaron if he has the remaining work.
