plonesocial.auth.rpx 0.815

An RPX connector for Plone, allowing users to login with Twitter, Google, Facebook etc.

plonesocial.auth.rpx

plonesocial.auth.rpx is an addon product for Plone which allows users to authenticate via the JanRain’s RPX service. RPX is sort of a proxy to let a user authenticate with a lot of identity services such as OpenID, Twitter, Facebook and many others.

Different from the OpenID plugin for Plone the RPX plugin does not just create a virtual user but instead it will map the verfied identifier from RPX (e.g. your OpenID) to an existing or to be created user account. A user is also able to map various identifiers to the same Plone account thus being able to login with his Twitter, Google or Facebook account to the same Plone account.

plonesocial.auth.rpx also allows the user to manage those mappings.
