CAcert OpenID Connect for Drupal now available

Leave a reply

OpenID Connect (OIDC) was developed by the OpenID Foundation as an authentication protocol that verifies a user’s identity when they attempt to access a protected site. CAcert now offers a way to both authenticate and authorise Drupal with OIDC. This allows users of one of the best known and most widely used open source content management systems (CMS), used by some of the largest websites such as The Economist or the White House, to be used for single sign-on (SSO) and offers the benefits of a single login for multiple sites.

This Guide will help you configure your Drupal sites and other applications as an OpenID Connect Client with CAcert. Following these steps will allow you to configure OIDC SSO which will allow your users to log in to your Drupal site using their CAcert credentials.

Over the past few months, we have been pushing OpenID Connect forward. Today, you can sign in with OpenID Connect using CAcert certificates. Our tireless volunteers are still working on the finishing touches and documentation. Perhaps you are still looking for a New Year’s resolution and would like to give them a hand?

Or in the hours left until the new year is rung in, would you prefer to work on a small project that is guaranteed to be finished in less than an hour? Then the CAcert calendar prism is for you (free download). Print it out, cut it out, fold it and stick it together. 1-2-3-4 and your first project for 2025 is complete!

All the best for the new year

Was ist OpenID Connect und was kann es?

Leave a reply

Seit etwas mehr als einem Jahr ist bei CAcert immer wieder die Rede von OpenID Connect. Vor wenigen Wochen konnten die Messebesucher der FrOScon unser neues Standbein an unserem Stand selber testen. Doch um was geht es da genau? Eva Stöwe erklärte die Vorteile von OpenID Connect im zweiten Teil (ab 32:40) eines Vortrags an der FrOScon. Dabei geht sie auch auf die Kombination von OpenID Connect mit CAcert-Zertifikaten ein.

Schau den ganzen Vortrag oder auch nur den Teil über OpenID Connect mit CAcert-Zertifikaten ab Minute 32:40 auf dem Medienserver des ChaosComputerClubs: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2022-2801-wer_bin_ich_und_wenn_ja_wie_viele (Vortrag in deutscher Sprache)

CAcert’s OpenID Connect is now working

Leave a reply

CAcert was represented at Froscon last week end. Our volunteers presented the new OpenID Connect project and discussed with the attendees. In fact, an exciting development this year was the completion of a first version of the CAcert OpenID Connect tool, allowing our members to use their Client Certificates to log in to various other services without using passwords. Services such as Nextcloud, Mantis, and possibly Drupal and WordPress can provide our members easy access. Work will continue on this project into the next month.

A l’occasion de ce 14 juillet, CAcert a l’honneur d’annoncer par cette voie une nouveauté à tous les membres français et francophones de la communauté CAcert. Nos bénévoles se feront un plaisir de vous le montrer et de vous l’expliquer personnellement: Juste de l’autre côté du Rhin, près de Cologne-Bonn, à la FrOScon.
