[OpenID] FW: Google Blogger and openid. Does it really work? (today?)

[Peter Williams]

I have confirmed that I, with absolutely no fuss and with everything in perfect, seemless working order, just left a authenticated comment on the abstrationeer site (a Google blogger hosted site, I believe).

The trial used myopenid as the OP, and its phonefactor phone call back to my registered cell phone. That is, three open source (and no a priori agreement) providers worked seemlessly together, in a true websso experience.

It worked exactly as one would expect, with the UCI model.

It did NOT require a Google session to exist, unlike trials of 4 months ago. Bug fixed! Somewhere!

Everything that flows from that (now false) assumption (that Google session was required, by design) are obviously false conclusions :- Google policy on tracking  anonymous-authenticated comments, assumed motivating legal issues.




All I ever wanted to do of course was use a major RP. I wanted to prove the point __by demonstration__ that major sites had accomplished RP adoption. For the first time, I can declare (mostly to myself), it works, its live, and its real. This counters some of the FUD levied by others (in the SAML world), that OpenID is "not real" ... and there is "no where to go" with it. Of course there is. There are evidently a billion potential blog sites.

Anyone know if one has to "arm" the Blogger blogsite to accept openids? As I recall, one had to do something to arm openid support.: i.e. it was not on by default. But, my memory of configuring my blogger account all those months ago, has mostly faded.

Blogger is currently at OpenID 1.1 and doesn't yet support i-names (@blog*lockbox).  I was able to publish a comment using http://jpanzer.myopenid.com/.  Obviously I can't test the others :).

http://www.abstractioneer.org is OpenID-comment-enabled.

Can someone point me at a Google blogger endpoint that has recently accepted their openid, please?

On a particular blogsite, all I get is "OpenID url is missing", for @blog*lockbox, http://rapattoni.trustbearer.com/lockbox, and homepw.myopenid.com
