I finally built a project template to make it easier to write an OpenID relying party web site using C# and ASP.NET. Up to this point all we had were the sample RPs that ship with DotNetOpenAuth, which were deliberately kept simple. They didn’t use a real database, didn’t follow some best practices, and weren’t very real. (Read More)

Executive Directors SummaryNow that we’ve had time to observe the reactions and resulting coverage from the Open Identity for Open Government Initiative, I want to discuss what we’ve gained and where we are headed. Overall, the announcement, the foundations’ presence in Washington – at both The White House and the Gov (Read More)

The battle over your online identity rages on. Google Friend Connect, the search giant’s platform that lets you accept Google and OpenID accounts on your site, has just made implementing the service about as easy as it could be. And it did it exactly two days after Facebook released its own streamlined install process for (Read More)

This was actually a comment I left on my last post about the v3.3 release of the OpenID plugin. It is a topic that comes up relatively often, and one in which most people are surprised when they hear my stance on it. It’s worthy of a separate discussion for those that are interested, so I’ve pulled it out into a separate (Read More)

I’ve decided to step up my involvement in Django development in the run-up to Django 1.2, so I’m currently going through several years worth of accumulated pony requests figuring out which ones are worth advocating for. I’m also ensuring I have the code to back them up—my innocent AutoEscaping proposal a few years ago resul (Read More)

I’ve finally gone ahead and released version 3.3 of the WordPress OpenID plugin. This release includes three major sets of changes. First, it drops support for older versions of WordPress… the minimum required version is now 2.8. Trying to maintain backwards compatibility requires a non-trivial amount of effort, and I’d (Read More)

I’m finally making progress on building a set of HTML and javascript files that can be used on any OpenID relying party web site to allow visitors to easily log in with OpenID, without even knowing what OpenID is. I mentioned my goal to do this some time ago, and now I have a small partially functional prototype. Please t (Read More)
OpenID:
Google, Yahoo!, and MySpace have launched support for the OpenID OAuth Hybrid Protocol, which combines OpenID authentication (sign in) with OAuth authorization (access control) into a single interface. Websites that accept OpenID can now let the hundreds of millions of users who already have either a MySpace, Google, or Ya (Read More)

Had this problem on blogger.com, but found if I pressed 'preview' under the comment I was directed to a page 'Trust this Website with Your..' something-or-other, I entered a name and nickname, clicked "Yes (just this time)", and it posted just fine.

You don't.You sign in as "Name/URL" instead of using OpenID. OpenID has issues and always does that.To change it on your OWN blog and other WP.com blogs, change your Nickname on your Profile page. Put in the name you want to use, save changes, then go back and select that name from the drop-down menu under "nickname" and sa (Read More)

Howdy,
I'd like to see what services I allowed to use my wordpress.com account as OpenID and perhaps revoking their "always" access rights.
Where can I do that?

In a previous article, I bemoan the pain of writing an OpenID Relying Party that wants to fetch user attributes from their OpenID Provider, because of the at least 4 ways in which those attributes must be requested. And then later I promised that DotNetOpenAuth would offer help to alleviate that pain. That help has come. (Read More)

Unfortunately, no. I've had nothing but trouble with OpenID, and use Username/URL instead. Since OpenID doesn't even include an avatar, there's no particular advantage to using it, even if it DID work.

A while ago I set up Twitterfeed for my Twitter account using OpenID. The OpenID I used was a WordPress.com account. It worked fine for months, but now when I try to login to Twitterfeed with my WordPress.com OpenID, Wordpress.com tells me "You don't own that identity". This is in spite of the fact that I log into Wordpress (Read More)
