openid

I am trying to set up OpenID authentication on a mobile version of a site of mine (ASP.net MVC, dotnetopenid). When i tested it out earlier (Using WAP internet, Sony Ericsson w200i) it redirected to the provider OK but was very slow to start with, then failed completely due to what i suspect was a too large page. Does anyone know a good way to implement OpenID for WAP users with a slow connection? Do any providers provide a specialised mobile page? If OpenID is difficult to implement on a phone, are there any alternatives apart from username and password? There are a couple problems that could

We're using an API from a provider; in their next version, they would provide an OpenId server but mostly the users are using their desktop application. An other website we're building would be opened from this application and we supposedly would connect with openid to access the resources stored in this provider. Still I don't understand how this would work if user is already authenticated with the desktop, will they have to authenticate an other time ? What happens if they close their browser and reopen it, will they have to to do it again ? OpenID and desktop apps are totally completely and

So I am writing an app in python for google appengine on the jinja2 templating platform. I have gotten OpenID to work just fine on my site and it allows the user to login and I can display their email/ID up in the top right corner. Now I want users to have their own usernames and be able to store some additional data about them such as site visits and certain posts to areas of the site. I know I need to create a table in the database with users and everything but what is the correct way to do this with OpenID. I want to automatically create the user when someone logs in for the first time but

How does Stack Overflow's SSO work? ... whatever it is they are doing it seems to work for all sites in the network. I'd like to learn what Stack is doing so I can see if it's possible to get a similar registration scheme between http://perfmon.com and http://eventvwr.com under ADFS. I understand that SAML and OpenID are different animals, but the concept of transparent registration should be the same. Q: How does Stackoverflow "federate" with the other sites such as serverfault? OpenID, One Year Later on SO blog explains how do they solve the problem. Also, there is a post on the new Global

I'm trying to understand if OpenID is good for me. Right now the site has a normal registration process, and I ask the user for data I need like his email, name, username, age, etc. I then make him verify his email. All this data is stored in the database. When I start using OpenID, this is what I understand I'll need to do: I won't need to store any password-related data I can still have an email field in my database, and I will get the email by asking the OpenID provider directly? right? Can I still ask the user for any additional details I want, like getting him to choose a username and all

I'm running several apps on Google App Engine. I am using the UserService for Authentication to be able to send emails on behalf of the user etc. and OAuth2 for API authorization. I am now trying to publish the apps on the Google Apps Marketplace, but I received an email telling me it is required to use OAuth2 for authentication. As I am just using the supported Google stack I assume there is a way to meet the requirements for publishing my apps on the Google Apps Marketplace but right now I'm stuck. jonathanberi This is similar to another question . The challenge is that the User service is

I'm trying to configure HybridAuth and I'm in the very early stages. Right now all I want to do is connect and make sure HA will redirect to facebook and prompt for app installation, then authenticate the user when they get back. I'm manually calling the following from: http://mydomain.com/auth.php?provider=Facebook auth.php looks like this: session_start(); require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/func/db_connect.php"); require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/api/auth/Hybrid/Auth.php"); // HybridAuth Module $hybridauth_config = include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/api/auth/config.php');
