Using single sign-on for Drupal.org identity management has been a long term goal of the Drupal Association, as it offers a number of benefits:

  • We can more easily manage authentication across our upgraded Drupal 10 sites, and our legacy Drupal 7 sites while we migrate all of our Drupal.org properties.
  • We can begin to introduce ‘social login’ allowing new users to create their Drupal.org accounts using external identities they already have - making it easier to jump straight in to contribution, as one example.
  • Once we establish the appropriate terms of service, we can begin to allow Drupal.org users to use their identity to login to external community sites, such as Drupal Camp websites, and use that to federate data back to Drupal.org.
