==Implementations== | |||
===WordPress=== | |||
Using [http://wordpress.org/plugins/browserid/ BrowserID plugin]. | |||

====Persona Auth Module==== | |||
A dead-simple verification plugin that allows users to authenticate using an email address via persona. Uses MIT-licensed verification library [https://github.com/fmarier/auth-browserid Auth-BrowserID] and based on SeltzerCRM's [https://github.com/elplatt/seltzer/blob/master/crm/modules/user/user.inc.php User Module], both are dependencies. | |||
=====pseudo code===== | |||
# include BrowserID.php verification library class (gpl-compatible Mozilla license) | |||
# create alternative Persona-based login form | |||
# ensure login form shows up in the right places | |||
# write handler to catch the POST login request, perform an assertion, add user id to session data, and respond in affirmative | |||
# shouldn't need to write handler to catch the GET logout request, existing logout should simply clear session data | |||
