Item14248: Create OpenID Login Manager to authenticate with MS, Google etc

OpenID LoginManager

I'm about to finish work on a bare-bones OpenID Connect Login Manager ("OpenIDLoginContrib"?). It aims to allow authentication via OpenID Connect as provided by Microsoft, Google etc. In it's current form, it's designed to automatically register new users, which should work as long as there is a UserMapper that provides at least the functionality of TopicUserMapping.

I'm willing to contribute the code and invest a few hours to figure out how to package it, but I don't know the protocol for contributing code to Foswiki, so pointers welcome.

I've invited jesuisse - Pascal Schuppli to the Developers group on github. If that's you, please accept the invite. Once that's done, you should be good to go to push to the repository. Please also remember to use commit messages in the form of Item14248: ...the message... So that the task gets a record of the commits. Also created the various boilerplate topics

• Extensions.OpenIDLoginContrib - placeholder in extensions web
• Support.OpenIDLoginContrib
• Development.OpenIDLoginContrib
• Tasks.OpenIDLoginContrib

For ideas on "automatic registration" you could see the NewUserPlugin. It's focused on LDAP users, but does create a new user registration automatically. It might already do a lot of what you need.

First version is now packaged and available. I'm grateful for bug reports.
