Is there a node.js implementation of an OpenID consumer?

Looking for an OpenID consumer in node.js

Maybe Passport will be good for your needs:

passport (copied from their website)

Passport is authentication middleware for Node.js. Extremely flexible and modular, Passport can be unobtrusively dropped in to any Express-based web application. A comprehensive set of strategies support authentication using a username and password, Facebook, Twitter, and more.

Features:

  • 140+ authentication strategies
  • Single sign-on with OpenID and OAuth
  • Easily handle success and failure
  • Supports persistent sessions
  • Dynamic scope and permissions
  • Pick and choose required strategies
  • Implement custom strategies
  • Does not mount routes in application
  • Lightweight code base

Everyauth is on the list at http://openid.net/developers/libraries/ but it is listed under "everyauth" instead of "Javascript" or "node.js".

It claims to be a "node.js auth package (password, facebook, & more) for Connect and Express apps" and claims to work with ~30+ services, including OpenID. Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, DropBox, Tumblr, GitHub, and a bunch of others.

It is being actively developed, judging from the recent github commits for June 2013.

I've written OpenID for node.js and shared the code at https://github.com/havard/node-openid. It is a fully OpenID 2.0 (and partially OpenID 1.1) compliant Relying Party.

For more information on the library, you can also read the announcement blog post.

UPDATE: As of 2011-09-04, the library is a fully OpenID 1.0/1.1 compliant Relying Party as well.
