FedCM for Solid
User-friendly Federated logins for Solid Community Server
"FedCM for Solid" bridges the gap between the emerging Federated Credential Management API and the Solid ecosystem. By implementing an extension for the Community Solid Server, this project enables Solid-OIDC identity providers to become compatible with FedCM. This makes it possible for users to log into Solid apps without needing to remember and manually enter their Identity Provider URL, significantly improving user experience. In parallel, the project will deliver a FedCM test suite, helping others to integrate FedCM in their own decentralized systems. Together, these efforts will promote a more user-friendly authentication flow for Solid, and help ensure that the development of FedCM accommodates decentralized web architectures.
