Tried to add OpenID support to my site. Didn’t have much success with the popular “openid” plugin, which should have given me both OpenID comments and OpenID authentication through my own URL. It just wouldn’t work, and is probably due to Security permissions at my host provider.
The MyOpenID plugin however worked just fine, and now delegates authentication across to myopenid where I have my OpenID account. Now whenever I post an OpenID authenticated comment, I can a URL back to my homepage, Lovely!
It’s a shame that the “openid” plugin didn’t work, because I now have to try to using another mechanism for allowing OpenID authenticated comments (MyOpenID just does the delegate stuff). Perhaps the plugin will work for the comments (client), or maybe there’s another plugin that will do OpenID authenticated comments.
Experimentation for another time me-thinks…
