Best Java OpenID library [closed]

Tags:

java

openid

I know the question is subjective, but since the OpenID libraries page lists a number of libraries, I thought some attempts might be made to nominate one or two that are best, in terms of:

  • project activity
  • quality (few bugs, easy API, properly implementing the protocol)
  • documentation

I'd appreciate an answer from anyone having used any OpenID Java library

Is OpenID app harmful?

OpenID itself is secure, however due to its decentralised nature it often assumes that three servers are "trusted". If these servers are not trustworthy then your security is gone.

Is OpenID better than SAML?

OpenID Connect is gaining in popularity. It is much simpler to implement than SAML and easily accessible through APIs because it works with RESTful API endpoints. This also means it works much better with mobile applications.

Is OpenID obsolete?

This page lists libraries for OpenID 2.0 – a now obsolete specification. OpenID 2.0 has been superseded by OpenID Connect. The Libraries page lists libraries for current OpenID specifications.

My choice was openid4java, because:

  • it is in a public maven repository
  • it's been actively developed (see the activity indicator on google code)
  • it worked fine, with the documentation provided
  • it's easy to use
