There is a SocialAuth project (http://code.google.com/p/socialauth/)
which provides oAuth and OpenId based authentication using oAuth
providers such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yahoo etc. We
used it for one of our client project.
Thanks,

Hey Guys,
We are soon going to need OAuth support to allow external users to log
into OFBiz Ecommerce site, which I believe is similar in design to
openid.
Just wondering if you considered using Apache Shiro
http://shiro.apache.org/ to help manage the different authentication
systems as plugins? If you are having to touch all those parts of the
framework is it worth thinking about changing the system to something
that already does this stuff out the box?
Thanks
Sam

Hi Adam,
The recent trend is to "slim down" OFBiz. This could be one of the
Apache OFBiz Extras
If someone needs it it pick up from there, et voilà
There are multiple layers. framework/openid, which has the basic
logic, but not any of the AX extensions. applications/openidext,
which then can pull in Person firstName/lastName, ContactMech(ICQ,
website, phone, etc).
I'd really prefer to have the former in framework.
But I guess I need to wait until I can verify it actually works before
sending it(it does internally, but I need to check it again).
Perhaps consider putting a patch in jira for review? A new folder
under both applications and framework seems pretty heavy handed for
something that sounds so simple. If they're both just components
then there's also no reason why they need to be in OFBiz rather than
distributed separately unless we know they're going to see a
reasonable amount of use from the community.
I think this is going to become a recurring problem though, people
will always want their components in OFBiz proper for fear of them
being ignored/invisible if distributed by any other means. What this
project really needs is an "extensions" website that acts as an
aggregator for 3rd party components in a similar manner to
firefox/chrome/jQuery/Magento/Eclipse and so manner other extensible
applications. If it had a rating/review system then that could help
us evaluate potential components for inclusion in the core
distribution (assuming an appropriate license).
