Open ID ================================ InterMine web-applications allow users to create accounts and sign in to these accounts by authenticating with a selection of Open-ID providers, including Yahoo. To sign in with one of these authentication providers: 1. Click on '''login''' (in the upper-right). 2. Click the name of the Open-ID provider you wish to use. 3. Authenticate yourself with your provider. 4. You will be redirected to your mine when finished. .. note:: Google has shut down its OpenID-2 service. To continue using Google authentication you must use OAuth2 authentication! See the section on editing web-properties for more details. To set this up for a mine you administer: * The most important thing is to set up a couple of properties correctly in your mine's properties file (located in the `.intermine` directory), eg: .. code-block:: properties webapp.baseurl=http://beta.flymine.org webapp.path=intermine-test If you do not wish to allow Open-ID accounts, set the property "openid.allowed=false" in any of the property files that end up in the WEB_PROPERTIES map. .. index:: Open ID, GMail, Yahoo, Google, myid.net, openid
