After reading the blog post by Joe Brinkman detailing how easy we could create additional authentication providers, I figured it was about time to knock something off my list and get another free module posted for the DotNetNuke community. Now we have an authentication provider extension that will function in both DNN4.8.3+ and DNN5.x and allow users from twitter to authenticate against your portal.

It's already running on my personal website, dnnskins.com, and I'm sure at least another dozen sites already... Have you tried it yet? If this is the first time you've heard of it, maybe it's time to follow me on twitter for update notifications of my new releases. Are you already using it? Contact me with any feedback, questions or suggestions regarding the implementation.

Download Information:
You can access the files for the provider on my Twitter Authentication Provider page, for free without any registration requirement. You can also directly access the CodePlex project for downloading releases/source code, submit any issues, or start a discussion related to the provider.

Features:
- Authenticate against the Twitter oAuth API
- Optional AutoFollow setting - create followers / friendship connections when they sign into your portal
- Optional AutoTweet setting - send out a message when a twitter user signs in, and send it as them
