[Exist-development] Developing OpenID for eXist

[Loren C. <lor...@gm...>]

I am in the process of developing the authentication through OpenID  
for the eXist database.

According to the document that I wrote at https://support.syntactica.com/groups/existsecurity/wiki/04f3c/Steps_to_implement_OpenID_in_eXist.html 
, I need to implement a new SecurityManager class.

I have also run across the fact that the org.exist.security.User class  
has the password as an attribute within it.  I would like to propose  
the attached refactoring:



What impact would this have on you and do you see any alternatives?
