Oh, also, I'd like to point to Gracie, http://trac.whitetree.org/gracie/
It is what looks to be quite a clean and lean python(!) OpenID identity provider meant to be used locally or on a server and authenticate you against your PAM (that is your system username/password). If you are already logged into your system, your system can be your openID provider, isnt it beautiful? It would be quite trivial to modify this to provide some proof of being the laptop (a certificate was mentioned?) or bug the user to confirm (and check for prior confirmations). If we have One Domain Per Laptop then this would suffice. Otherwise some DNS cleverness at the server side could be in order. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
