openid

I'm using the Zend framework and the openid selector from http://code.google.com/p/openid-selector/ - however I find I can't login using sites like Google and Yahoo as they use direct identity based login system whereby one is just redirected to a url as opposed to entering a unique url of their own for authentication. I've checked out many options and hacks but none of them seem to work. How can i get this to work here btw - how is it implemented at stack overflow? I could really use all the help here guys.. Edit Well the issue here is that from what I have noticed is that the Zend OpenID

You see a fair bit (in the Geek community anyway) about OpenID. It seems like a good idea. I'm developing a website that will be targeted at a somewhat less geeky audience (but not quite Mom and Pops either) so I have to wonder if OpenID is going to be "too hard" for some audiences. What do you think? That aside, are there any other technical or non-technical reasons NOT to use OpenID? Average users still don't understand what OpenId is, what it's for, or how to use it. My parents would not be able to login to Stack Overflow, for instance. That being said, this is largely about user interface.

I want to add the following buttons to my website for providing users with option to login using more services like Google, Facebook etc. Please answer the following questions: How can I add various services like this free of cost ? (Please note that I do not want to use any paid service like Janrain and ) How can I store user information of the user (like email, phone no.) that are stored in the accounts to my database? Please provide any links/libraries that can be used. I appreciate any other information that you can provide. Thank you! Atul Goyal You'll be using the APIs of the respective

I already did a lot of research on this topic and have implemented a lot of solutions myself. Including OpenID, Facebook Connect (using the old Rest API and the new Graph OAuth 2.0 API), Sign in with twitter (which has been upgraded to fully qualified OpenID by now as far as I know), and so on... But what I'm still missing is the perfect all in one solution. During my research I stumbled about some interesting projects: Janrain (formerly RPX) - a commercial solution Gigya - a free but externally hosted solution with javascript and rest apis AnyOpenID - a free solution for clients, commercial

I am developing an ASP.NET MVC application and I want to use OpenId. What is the best option? DotNetOpenId RPX Other??? Does anyone know what StackOverflow uses? Is the Login UI custom-developed, or provided by an API/service? Jarrod Dixon We use the excellent DotNetOpenId library here on Stack Overflow: http://code.google.com/p/dotnetopenid/ now moved to: http://www.dotnetopenauth.net/ Our original login UI was provided by ID Selector , but we've since rolled our own minimalist version. I'll second the recommendation for DotNetOpenId and add a recommendation for openid-selector (open source

I'm having problems with a small OpenID-library called LightOpenID . I can authenticate to almost all providers, but I don't know how to fetch the data from the provider. I only get Array(), even with print_r(). You need to call getAttributes() after $openid->validate() not before. Remember: Note that it does not guarantee that any of the required/optional parameters will be present This is how I use it. This is the file openid.php in the folder lightopenid. In the class make the following additional functions - class LightOpenID { public $returnUrl , $required = array() , $optional = array()

I'm building a Java web app that needs access to a user's Google Calendar data - therefore I thought the OAuth/OpenID hybrid is the best way to go. What's the best library to handle the job - and reduce the amount of code on my end? I tried openid4java & Spring Security OpenID (both don't support hybrid) as well as dyuproject (couldn't get it integrated). PS: GAE is not an option Any ideas? I don't know any integrated library but I do it with an OpenID library ( openid4java ), an OAuth library ( net.oauth Java implementation [Edit: or Scribe ]) and my bare hands as follows: My OAuth consumer
