Hello, Please excuse me if this subject is not appropriate for this list.
Looking at the available specs I could not figure if a certain feature that I am interested is supported by any of the OpenID specs or any extension that is in progress. I am working on an implementation on which the OpenID provider not only can authenticate an account, but also centralizes e-mail addresses and aother account attributes of all accounts. The problem that I need to solve is the need for the consumer sites to have the account e-mail addresses updated, as those sites send several types of newsletters specific of the sites. So, if an user updates the account e-mail address in one consumer site, I need a) the e-mail address to be pushed in realtime to the authentication provider and b) the authentication provider pushes the updated account e-mail addresses to any other consumers that are using the same user account without having to wait for the user to login in those sites. It seems that OpenID Attribute Exchange spec handles a) but interaction needs to depart from consumer sites. So, b) does not seem to be handled by AX. Am I correct? If that is the case, is there any other spec, published or being worked on, that handles b), i.e push account attribute updates from the provider to any relevant consumers? -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ _______________________________________________ specs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/openid-specs
