Situation
Many players using many external tools like forums, chat software (jabber, irc), dotlan. This is not only based on alliance level, many players have top authenticate himself on more than 3 ts servers and forums. Each alliance/corp has it's own implemantation. It causes into much trouble, autentication in game (chatting with leadership) and other arkward procedures, that minimizes the ingame fun.
Proposal
CCP should authenticate all player with a OpenID-server, which is independent from the API-server and give corps and players access necessary authentication data.
When a pilots demands access, his authentication will be checked and his data downloaded according to his api key.
Advantages
- More and easy management of corp and alliances
- Less problems for pilots with different authentication systems (!!!!) Only one pw, that should have a high complexity
- Less problems for the leaderships to manage authentication
- Less problems for short termed based coalitions working together
- Unified software interfaces making authentication more secure
Disadvantages
The authentication server has to have the same upptime as the game server. If the up time is lower, no one will use this service. |

What's so hard about using the API keys for authentication? In my experience, they're quite easy to hook in to. |

Such a thing would be a massive security risk. The EVE API is used by most groups for authentication, so why bother with some OpenID nonsense? |

You can auth players for voice chat, web pages, or any other program with the API, already. |

The situation is now, that many players using the same PW for all the tools and their eve account. In opposite to ccps server most of the tool server aren't that secure.So one secure server is better.
To auth player with voice is really stupid. It's not more than a layer that destroys fun in game. With an OpenID acc it wouldn't be necessary. |
