        <title>OpenID Authentication</title>

        <para>
            From a web site developer's point of view, the OpenID authentication
            process consists of three steps:

        </orderedlist>

        <para>
            The OpenID authentication protocol actually requires more
            steps, but many of them are encapsulated inside
            <classname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer</classname> and are therefore transparent to the
            developer.
        </para>

        <para>
            The end user initiates the OpenID authentication process by
            submitting his or her identification credentials with the appropriate form.
            The following example shows a simple form that accepts an OpenID
            identifier. Note that the example only demonstrates a login.
        </para>

]]></programlisting>
        </example>

        <para>
            This form passes the OpenID identity on submission to the following
            <acronym>PHP</acronym> script that performs the second step of authentication. The
            <acronym>PHP</acronym> script need only call the
            <methodname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer::login()</methodname> method in this step. The first
            argument of this method is an accepted OpenID identity, and the second is the
            <acronym>URL</acronym> of a script that handles the third and last step of
            authentication.

        </example>

        <para>
            The <methodname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer::login()</methodname> method performs discovery on
            a given identifier, and, if successful, obtains the address of the identity
            provider and its local identifier. It then creates an association to the
            given provider so that both the site and provider share a secret
            that is used to sign the subsequent messages. Finally, it passes an
            authentication request to the provider. This request redirects the
            end user's web browser to an OpenID server site, where the user can
            continue the authentication process.
        </para>

        <para>
            An OpenID provider usually asks users for their password (if they
            weren't previously logged-in), whether the user trusts this site and what
            information may be returned to the site. These interactions are not
            visible to the OpenID consumer, so it can not obtain the
            user's password or other information that the user did not has not directed the
            OpenID provider to share with it.
        </para>

        <para>
            On success, <methodname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer::login()</methodname> does not
            return, instead performing an <acronym>HTTP</acronym> redirection. However, if there is
            an error it may return <constant>FALSE</constant>. Errors may occur due to an invalid
            identity, unresponsive provider, communication error, etc.
        </para>

        <para>
            The third step of authentication is initiated by the response from the
            OpenID provider, after it has authenticated the user's password.
            This response is passed indirectly, as an <acronym>HTTP</acronym> redirection using the
            end user's web browser. The consumer must now simply check
            that this response is valid.

        <para>
            The following example combines all three steps in one script. It doesn't
            provide any new functionality. The advantage of using just one script is that
            the developer need not specify <acronym>URL</acronym>'s for a script to handle the next
            step. By default, all steps use the same <acronym>URL</acronym>. However, the script now
            includes some dispatch code to execute the appropriate code for each step of
            authentication.

            In addition, this code differentiates between cancelled and invalid
            authentication responses. The provider returns a cancelled response
            if the identity provider is not aware of the supplied identity, the user
            is not logged in, or the user doesn't trust the site. An invalid response indicates
            that the response is not conformant to the OpenID protocol or is incorrectly signed.

        <title>Consumer Realm</title>

        <para>
            When an OpenID-enabled site passes authentication requests to a
            provider, it identifies itself with a realm <acronym>URL</acronym>. This
            <acronym>URL</acronym> may be considered a root of a trusted site. If the user trusts
            the realm <acronym>URL</acronym>, he or she should also trust matched and subsequent
            <acronym>URL</acronym>s.
        </para>

        <para>
            By default, the realm <acronym>URL</acronym> is automatically set to the
            <acronym>URL</acronym> of the directory in which the login script resides. This default
            value is useful for most, but not all, cases. Sometimes an entire domain, and not a
            directory should be trusted. Or even a combination of several servers in one domain.
        </para>

        <para>
            To override the default value, developers may pass the realm <acronym>URL</acronym> as a
            third argument to the <classname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer::login</classname> method. In
            the following example, a single interaction asks for trusted access to
            all php.net sites.

        <title>Immediate Check</title>

        <para>
            In some cases, an application need only check if a user is already
            logged in to a trusted OpenID server without any interaction with the
            user. The <classname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer::check</classname> method does precisely
            that. It is executed with the same arguments as
            <classname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer::login</classname>, but it doesn't display any
            OpenID server pages to the user. From the users point of view this process is
            transparent, and it appears as though they never left the site. The third step
            succeeds if the user is already logged in and trusted by the site, otherwise
            it will fail.

        <title>Zend_OpenId_Consumer_Storage</title>

        <para>
            There are three steps in the OpenID authentication procedure, and each
            step is performed by a separate <acronym>HTTP</acronym> request. To store information
            between requests, <classname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer</classname> uses internal storage.
        </para>

        <para>
            Developers do not necessarily have to be aware of this storage because by default
            <classname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer</classname> uses file-based storage under the temporary
            directory- similar to <acronym>PHP</acronym> sessions. However, this storage may be not
            suitable in all cases. Some developers may want to store information in a database,
            while others may need to use common storage suitable for server farms. Fortunately,
            developers may easily replace the default storage with their own. To specify a custom
            storage mechanism, one need only extend the
            <classname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer_Storage</classname> class and pass this subclass to the
            <classname>Zend_OpenId_Consumer</classname> constructor in the first argument.
        </para>

        <para>
            The following example demonstrates a simple storage mechanism that uses
            <classname>Zend_Db</classname> as its backend and exposes three groups of functions.
            The first group contains functions for working with associations, while the second group
            caches discovery information, and the third group can be used to check whether a
            response is unique. This class can easily be used with existing or new databases; if the
            required tables don't exist, it will create them.
