End of OpenID authentication in Fedora Account System – May update

We announced the end of OpenID authentication in Fedora in March. The original date of this was set to 20th May 2025. The progress could be followed in this ticket.

What we did?

We reached to services that are using OpenID for authentication and asked them to move to OIDC. There were few that we already helped to move:

What is the plan now?

  1. Deploying a new Ipsilon instance – this will be tested on staging environment first
  2. Set the above instance for OpenID only – there will be a big red banner showing that this authentication method is unsupported and will be removed in the future
  3. All the OpenID traffic will be redirected to the new instance
  4. Removing the OpenID only instance – the date is not decided yet, but we will keep it running at least half a year

This plan will allow us to potentially migrate from current solution to something better maintained without breaking the OpenID authentication.

This means that the new date for end of OpenID support in Fedora is to be decided.

End of OpenID authentication in Fedora Account System

On the latest Fedora Infrastructure weekly meeting we decided on a date of OpenID authentication sunset. The date is 20th May 2025.

Why the change?

The OpenID is being replaced by OpenIDConnect (OIDC) in most of the modern web and most of the Fedora infrastructure is already using OIDC as the default authentication method. OIDC offers us better security by handling both authentication and authorization. It also allows us to have more control over services that are using Fedora Account System (FAS) for authentication.

What will change for you?

With the End Of Life of OpenID we will switch to OIDC for everything and no longer support authentication with OpenID. If your web or service is already using OIDC for authentication nothing will change for you. If you are still using OpenID open a ticket on Fedora Infrastructure issue tracker and we will help you with migration to OIDC. For users using FAS as authentication option there should be no change at all.

What will happen now?

We will be reaching to services we identified as using OpenID directly, but as we don’t have control over OpenID authentication we can’t identify everyone.

If you are interested in following this work feel free to watch this ticket.
