But only with custom code. Put this in the spec and it's likely to be included in popular code libraries (even if it's not a requirement), which will make it easier for RPs to add linking, and likely make the linking more secure. > You want some sort of automatic account linking hint for a RP so that if it > supports that it can add other claimed_id to your account? I don't know what you mean by automatic. There's a privacy angle to linking, so this ought to be an action that is requested by the end user. > That is probably doable. > > I don't know that we can require RP to support account linking. I don't think you should. Spec how it MAY be done and let implementors decide whether to support it or not. While I'd love to see this, I don't think it's important enough to make it more difficult to comply with the spec. > I suspect with connect they will probably wan't to have access to more of > your social graph, so will be encouraged to support it. > On 2010-05-29, at 2:54 PM, Peter Watkins wrote: > > If you're going to formalize identity migration, please consider extending > > it to handle "identity linkage".
