Hello, even though I can't have a technical answer as I did not really
look at Mageia authentication system (Blingme is certainly the right
person), I like the idea of using OpenID
However, if an openid is linked to a ldap account, i think having a
mageia openID has to be optional (the concept of openID is to be
decentralized).
In return, a mageia OpenID can also be used in other websites using
openID authentication.
