Software packages

NetMesh InfoGrid LID PHP, Perl and Java

The most recent development snapshots are now multi-protocol! They support three URL-based identity protocols seamlessly integrated into the same package:

• OpenID [learn more]
• Light-Weight Identity (LID) [learn more]
• Yadis [learn more]

Since 2.0b10, InfoGrid LID also supports i-names in addition to identity URLs.

Includes libraries and full source code. The following programming environments are supported:

Language	Downloadable versions	Platform
You must use an un-tar utility that supports long filenames (such as GNU tar).
PHP	2.0b10 (tar, gzip) — most recent 2.0b9 (tar, gzip) 2.0b8 (tar, gzip) 2.0b7 (tar, gzip) 2.0b6 (tar, gzip) 2.0b5 (tar, gzip) 2.0b4 (tar, gzip)	Linux or Mac OSX Windows may work
Java	2.0b10 (tar, gzip) — most recent 2.0b9 (tar, gzip) 2.0b5 (tar, gzip) 2.0b4 (tar, gzip)
Perl	2.0b6 (tar, gzip) — most recent 2.0b5 (tar, gzip) 2.0b4 (tar, gzip)

You may want to use one of the pre-configured templates for common setups to get you started quickly. Go to templates.

The implementations are largely identical in terms of features and design (same classes, same methods ...) except where the language environments are too different to make this feasible. In other words, you can learn the API once and use it in three different language environments.

Site templates for NetMesh InfoGrid LID

A set of common website configurations for NetMesh InfoGrid LID that allow you to get started quickly.

FirstSSO website template

This development snapshot is a template for a simple website that accepts LID, OpenID and Yadis-enabled identity URLs and XRIs (aka i-names). This template is probably the simplest way of getting started with NetMesh InfoGrid LID.

FirstSSO is available for the following programming environments:

Language	Downloadable versions	Platform
You must use an un-tar utility that supports long filenames (such as GNU tar).
PHP	2.0b10 (tar, gzip) — most recent 2.0b9 (tar, gzip) 2.0b8 (tar, gzip) 2.0b7 (tar, gzip)	Linux or Mac OSX Windows may work
Java	2.0b10 (tar, gzip) — most recent 2.0b9 (tar, gzip) 2.0b6 (tar, gzip)
Perl	(coming soon)

Idh identity host template

This development snapshot is a template for a simple identity host (aka identity provider) that hosts LID, OpenID and Yadis-enabled identity URLs. It does not host XRIs (aka i-names), but accepts them as a form of incoming identification.

Idh is available for the following programming environments:

Language	Downloadable versions	Platform
You must use an un-tar utility that supports long filenames (such as GNU tar).
PHP	2.0b10 (tar, gzip) — most recent	Linux or Mac OSX Windows may work
Java	2.0b10 (tar, gzip) — most recent

MediaWiki

MediaWiki [learn more] is the software that runs Wikipedia. Through this patch, the Wikipedia software can accept OpenID, LID and Yadis-enabled identity URLs and XRIs (aka i-names) as a form of user identification, in addition to its own, built-in user registration.

Requires MediaWiki 1.6.1 (but can be made to work with other versions if you are willing to do a bit of work ...)

Requires NetMesh InfoGrid LID PHP, see separate download on this page.

This patch currently requires some hand-holding. If you would like to use it, please contact us. You can see the patch in action at sites such as Yadis.org or rss-extensions.org.

Historical

NetMesh LID Perl Script (historical)

The original LID demonstration Perl script developed by NetMesh. Supports LID 1.0 only. May be instructive, but we do not recommend that you base your new development on it. The LID protocol has changed too much and you would be missing out on many new features not possible with LID 1.0.
