OpenID-LDAP / FAQs

Well, I need help. Where to look at?

Check out the documents located in "docs" directory of the downloaded package. There you will find detailed instructions how to set up your installation, as well a description of changes in current and past releases. The project's license agreement is also there.

What are the software requirements?

OpenID-LDAP requires no external libraries, and has very minimal requirements. It should run on any PHP server (v4.2+), and can support OpenID in 'Smart Mode.' This program caches all data using built-in PHP session handling, so it requires no database, and no explicit write access to the file system. It uses a LDAP server tho, to fetch users data.

OpenID-LDAP is NOT* compatible with Suhosin or other hardened PHP systems (attn. Debian users). Suhosin is a security add-on for PHP which, amongst other things, removes PHP's ability to open and access multiple sessions at one time. OpenID-LDAP is reliant upon this feature, and will therefore not work.

* However with latest version of openid-ldap the Suhosin incompatibility warning can now be bypassed; see documentation for more info.

What about other kind of support?

There's no reason that OpenID-LDAP should not work under IIS. It is proved that it works fine with Microsoft Windows Server and Active Directory user accounts.
