[Code] OpenID enabled Mailman

[Malveeka Tewari]

Hi

I am working on implementing openID server for the mailman setup I am
running.

We want to provide the mailing list users an option whether or not to enable
openID for their subscription.
On the "login" page for their mailman subscription, the users will see an
option for

1. Enable/Disable openID login for your subscription
2. Sign in with existing openID login for your subscription

*1. Enable/Disable openID login for your subscription* *account*
For enabling and diabling the openID feature, the users login their
subscribed accounts as they do now for changing any of the subcription
options.
On this page if they enable the openID feature, they recieve an automated
reply with their openID identifier.

The password for the openID identifier is the same as that for the
subscription accounts. If they change their subscription passwords, their
openID password gets changed too.

*2. Sign in with existing openID login*
The user gets redirected to a page where he/she enters it's openID identifer
and the password and can now manage account settings with the openID
identifier. This authentication and further logging, modification of
subscription configurations will be handled by the openID server.
Since mailman is written in python, I downloaded the python-openid from
janrain.com.
I am hoping out the openID server would work with only little modifications
after integrating with mailman but would appreciate some help here too.

As I understand, the *changes that need to be made to the existing mailman
code* include the following:

Changing the MemberAdaptor.py and UserDesc.py for including information
whether or not openID identifier is enabled for a paricular user.
Propogating changes made to openID-identified-accounts to the subscription
configurations.
Changing the webpage interfaces for provinding and allowing users to access
these options

I want to know if there's already an openID enabled version of mailman
available
And what files would I need to make changes to include openID support in
mailman

I have asked this on the Mailman mailing list as well but they did not have
any concrete suggestions.

Thanks
Malveeka
