Orcid Logo

Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Social Auth ORCID allows users to register and login to your Drupal site with their Orcid account. The module allows websites to request to authenticate, so any tasks requiring authentication with ORCID services can be performed. This module is based on Social Auth and Social API projects

This module adds a path user/login/orcid which redirects the user to ORCID for authentication.

After ORCID has returned the user to your site, the module compares the user id or email address provided by ORCID. If the user has previously registered using ORCID or your site already has an account with the same email address, the user is logged in. If not, a new user account is created. Also, an ORCID account can be associated with an authenticated user.

Login process can be initiated from the "ORCID" button in the Social Auth block. Alternatively, site builders can place (and theme) a link to user/login/orcid wherever on the site.
