I have a table "users" and I want to enable my visitors to login with their openID Account. For this I use the OpenId Component for Cakephp and it works fine (When I login with the Google URL I receive the "successfully authenticated!" notification).

But now I'm kind of stuck because I don't know how to go on from there.

  • Do I have to create a User-Entry for every user which has a new entry in the "oid_associations" table (I save all OpenId interaction in the mysql database)?
  • Do I have to authenticate the User after the login (or is the OpenID-component doing that automatically?).
  • Am I completely misunderstanding the concept?
