PHP Authentication System
The PHP Authentication system has served us well but is archaic and requires a rewrite.
How this might work - OpenID
Have php.net become an OpenID identity server. And for example, someone may use any OpenID identity to submit a bug report, add a user comment to the PHP manual, manage my.php, etc. And the php.net identity is required for certain tasks like SVN commits and mirror/user management via master. Basically, anything using a login today.
Notes
- Several places rely on this authentication, from www.php.net, mirrors, pecl.php.net, and likely differing domains
- Consider doing this before changing version control systems (from CVS to SVN)
- RIP Magical Cookie, and thanks for all the memories
Status
- All content within this idea is up for discussion
- It's a desired feature, so find well suited humans to create it in 2009
- The 2009 php.net redesign efforts are prepared to discuss this idea
Progress
Brain Storming.
