Hi all,

About 4 years ago, I wrote a generic OpenIDConnect client, and kept telling myself that I would upstream it but I never did… until now: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21586.

I wrote it for 1 specific client, so it exists heavily in a set of “Prosentient” namespaces and some of the code is legacy from 3.14 and could be replaced by modern code (I’m looking at you Koha::Prosentient::Borrowers), but maybe people can try it out and give me some feedback to make it worthy of a sign off, or people can adapt it and I can give feedback. (I already have some things I would like to change. I think I overuse base64url… but it is essential when working with JWTs. I think I just got carried away with a substitution command once.)

I know we already have the GoogleOpenIdConnect. I actually wrote this code before that code existed, but I don’t think my code would work for Google the way it is now. It would probably need some alterations.

Anyway, I was sick of telling myself that I would upstream it one day, so I sat down and made a patch and now it’s shared.

Cheers,

David Cook
