[Code] allowing users to supply an OP Identifier

[russell muetzelfeldt]

Hi All,

I'm trying to implement SSO for a handful of internal web apps but can't work out how to get the OP working.

The client apps are all sorted out - I can hardcode a User-Supplied Identifier of "https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id" and the users are transparently redirected off to Google to log in with their Google identities.

What I can't figure out how to make work is our own OP so that it will respond to requests against an OP Identifier rather than a user's personal Identifier.

All the code samples I've found for OPs assume that the users will be entering their own Identifier at the RP rather than being prompted for both identification and authentication (username/password) at the OP. (Also, I'm new to OpenID and don't really understand any of the XRDS/YADDIS stuff that seems to drive the discovery process.)

Are there any code samples or documentation for OPs that allow this style of interaction? I'm using the ruby-openid library from janrain but will happily read through any other library/language implementation just to figure out how I need to interact with the RPs to make this work.

cheers

Russell
