Using OpenID for logins

If we don't want to store our users' passwords in our application, there are other authentication methods that use third parties, such as OAuth and OpenID. In this recipe, we'll use OpenID to log in our users.

Getting ready

For this recipe, we need to have a standard installation of Laravel and complete the Setting up OAuth with the HybridAuth package recipe.

How to do it...

To complete this recipe, follow these steps:

In our app/config directory, create a new file named as openid_auth.php:

<?php
return array(
    "base_url"   => "http://path/to/our/app/openid/auth",
    "providers"  => array (
        "OpenID" => array ("enabled" => TRUE)
    )
);

In our routes.php file, create a route to hold our login form:

Route::get('login', function()
{
    return View::make('login');
});

In our app/views directory, create a new view named as login.php:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Laravel Open ID Login</title>
        ...
