Best Coldfusion Library for OpenID
authentication, coldfusion, openid
Solution
I'd vote for OpenID CFC---but maybe that's because I'm one of the project's developers... ;-)
So although I'm obviously biased, here's why I recommend OpenID CFC:
- It supports OpenID 2.0 and IS updated fairly regularly when necessary
- CFKit OpenID only supports OpenID 1.1
- CFOpenID supports OpenID 2.0, but doesn't appear to have been updated for a long time.
I don't know when Jason looked at the libraries or what issues he had, but you shouldn't have any issues if you want to use OpenID CFC. When I updated it to support OpenID 2.0 I made several changes that really simplified the API so it's really easy to use.
RPX is also a good alternative. But it's not free and since it's a third-party system you are relinquishing a little bit of control over the system.
Problem
I am getting ready to start a project that requires using OpenID within Coldfusion 8. I have found a number of different options and was wondering what has worked the best, get's the most support, stays up to date, etc... - OpenID CFC - CFOpenID - CFKit OpenID
