[OpenID] Initial thoughts on OpenID

[Recordon, David]

Hey John,

Saw your post yesterday and actually syndicated it on
http://planet.openid.net.

 

Generally I agree with you, I think the classification of providers and
reliers is reasonable though really crosses the border from just the
OpenID world as well.

 

I don't think I agree that there are a lot of Relying Parties also
issuing OpenIDs and then only consuming their own.  Rather, I think part
of the current problem is there being an unproportionate number of
Providers to Relying Parties.  This is however changing with sites like
http://ma.gnolia.com only being an OpenID Relying Party and AOL bringing
on Relying Parties later this month.

 

Have you seen
http://openid.net/specs/openid-provider-authentication-policy-extension-
1_0-01.html by any chance?

Recently I started considering OpenID authentication for a project. I
watched two screencasts and spoke to a few people to get a general feel
for the project and then jotted down my thoughts here:

Some of the thoughts are similar to some posts on this list. Please let
me know where/if I'm wrong. I considered inlining the text but it's kind
of long.
