OpenID
by Nathan on Mar.26, 2007, under Uncategorized
This weekend I spent a lot of time playing with OpenID. I tried to implement it on this blog, but I need to compile my own PHP and have GMP enabled. I tried to do this but it didn’t work out. Also the plugin I was using didn’t want to find my OpenID endpoint. But I hope with a little help I will be able to bring OpenID as another way to login.
This weekend I also had a long conversation with some people about OpenID and the way many sites are implementing it. The problem I have for example LiveJournal, is that I have no way to associate my OpenID with my already created account. I know LiveJournal gives you an openid, but I want to use my own. Thus meaning I have to create a new account. I hope in the long run this will be fixed my site like Digg who are going to implement this technology.
[Update]: Looks as though I have OpenID running. It is in dumb mode, I don’t know what that means, but it can be fixed with gmp. Everyone give it a try.
