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?
- Deploying a new Ipsilon instance – this will be tested on staging environment first
- 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
- All the OpenID traffic will be redirected to the new instance
- 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.
