Setting up logging into redmine with openid, why so complicated?
Added by Tom Viner over 11 years ago
We're using Redmine 1.3.1.stable so this may be fixed in later releases, but at the moment this seems to be the minimal process for getting google set up as a redmine OpenID login.
- Log out of redmine
- Go to http://redmine.example.com
- Enter https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id into the OpenID URL box (the login/password fields can contain anything)
- Click login and agree to the google account permission request...
- But DO NOT SUBMIT the next form! as that will try to create a new user.
- Just copy out the long OpenID URL
- Sign into redmine the normal way
- Go to your settings page
- Paste in the long OpenID URL and save.
I can now log into redmine without entering my username and password, just enter https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id into the openid box.
But there must be a simpler way to set this all up?
