Authentication is one of the cornerstones of modern web development—and getting it wrong can seriously hurt the user experience. Recently, our team was working on Single Sign On for the CMQCC website that was migrated from D7 to Backdrop CMS last year. CMQCC accounts server provides OpenID https://openid.net/ authentication, and this module was not ready for BackdropCMS. We had an option to either build a custom solution or port the OpenID Connect module to Backdrop CMS (both D7 and D10 have versions of this module).
With the help of coder_upgrader module and Cursor AI we were able to complete the port on a very slim budget and on schedule resulting in a reliable and user-friendly authentication tool for CMQCC and for the entire community. The module has been released recently and is now you can login into https://opensourcelab.stanford.edu/ with Sunet Login
