Bakery Single Sign-On System

Bakery provides a "single sign on" feature for Drupal based sites that are on the same second-level domain (i.e. example.com, subsite.example.com, subsite2.example.com). It could also provide support for any other website that implements the same web cookie, xmlrpc, and POST methods.

This module started at the 2009 Drupal.org redesign sprint in San Francisco as a way to manage single sign-ons across *.drupal.org infrastructure.

Branches: 6.x-1, 6.x-2, 7.x-1, 7.x-2

The 6.x-1.x branch is the most stable and will not get any new features. The 6.x-2.x has new features including the ability to register, login, and get a new password from the subsite. The 7.x-1.x branch will stay compatible with the 6.x-1.x branch and the 7.x-2.x branch will be compatible with 6.x-2.x.

Note that the ability to share timezones and profile data from a master to slave sites has been removed from the 7.x-2.x branch so any sites using 7.x-2.x will not be able to share that data. See #1232914: Figure out how to share data in the future for details or to work on improving it.

Development Help

The original design and code are by David Strauss. The module is currently maintained and developed by some members of the Drupal.org infrastructure team and some people who use it on their sites or their customer's sites.

Bakery also has several people who provide code (see the "Maintainers" block) and also gets some great help from Ben Jeavons.

Significant work for bakery has been sponsored by Examiner.com who funded much of the Drupal 7 port and features related to sharing data between sites. Growing Venture Solutions also supported work on the module by Ben Jeavons to improve the feature-set of security.drupal.org.
