You know what's not good for adoption? Having to go to 20 different developer portals. Trying to figure out how to create an OAuth application in 20 different ways. Verifying your domain in 20 different ways. Agreeing to 20 different terms of service. I know that the OpenID Connect proposal mentions an association step, but if all the major providers wind up requiring preregistration, it is a moot point. My gut is that using OAuth as the base will be very good for a few players, and bad for identity on the whole. -- Grant Monroe JanRain, Inc. _______________________________________________ specs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/openid-specs
