OpenID Trusted Authentication Extension

2007-08-31 Thread John Ehn
I think I see where there might be confusion. When the initial request occurs, we're actually doing a re-authentication with the client site. So we're sending a check_id request with the return_to pointing to the client site. Because we have some extra arguments (including the URL of the destin

Well, I've slept on it. I think we have a difference in philosophy. The other Extesions - AX, Simple Registration, etc. - follow the same data flow methodology: RP -> UA -> OP RP <- UA <- OP I believe I'm sticking to the same principles in my spec. We are doing the very same thing when we coll

James, Sorry, but I'm having problems following the flow. It seems like an interesting idea, though. Can you provide with a little more information on how these components would interact? I was really trying to keep everything dumb and simple. The concept I was going for was "piggy-back on Ope

Chris, I want to start off by saying how horribly inappropriate it is to use the OpenID specifications mailing list to peddle an authentication standard that has absolutely nothing to do with OpenID. I find it interesting that so many of the OAuth community have taken time out of their busy sched

I have created a draft of a new specification that I think will help to fill a gap in OpenID functionality. What appears to be a newer productivity feature of many websites is the ability to import and utilize information from other sites. For instance, Basecamp provides an API that allows other
