Have RP-B make an automated OpenID authentication request using
immediate mode and identifier_select.

See sections 9.1, 9.3 and 10 of the OpenID 2.0 spec.

The OP prompts the user for credentials, authenticates the user, and sends a positive assertion to RP-A. The user then clicks a link on the RP-A site that redirects the users browser to RP-B. My question is how does RP-B make an authentication request to the OP that results in the OP sending a positive assertion to RP-B where neither RP-B nor the OP prompts the user for any identification or credentials?
