[OpenID] moving onto inames inumbers ibrokers .. or at least trying to

[Peter Williams]

I've been  been struggling for the last hour with the freeid (beta)
i-services from https://linksafe.ezibroker.net/.  I'm making an effort
to address XRI, i-names etc etc etc.

 

Basically, that service has provisioned me 2 openids (in xri form). I
cannot access either of the accounts associated with those names, tho.
Password auth seems broken, for now. One can provision the password, but
not use it. But, it is a beta service. The site clearly says upon
attempting to logon: authentication failed, and I have been unable to
bind my infocard, as yet. I have asserted my card, though (I think).

 

So I now get to type "@freeid*lockbox" ... into plaxo (which is going to
go down like a lead balloon, in my user community).  But, at least it
worked - in that it redirected to the expected OP.

 

When, I type that string into the Rapattoni/trustbearer consumer, it
redirects to a different OP logon page to that which Plaxo redirects me
to, giving me a page of stuff all logging in as
xri://@!4E3C.6E35.633A.FD2A!729B.7E1E (which is going to go down like 32
lead balloons, in my user community)

 

1.       I have no idea what that particular xri blurb is - never having
seen the particular value before.

2.       Similar strings have appeared at times on the freeid website,
as if I have half-logged onto a session. I may thus be in buggy
sessions.

3.       Is there a reason why the same openid goes to different logon
servers (in terms of the openid/xri model)?

4.       Has anyone got either long server's local password
authentication to work, so they can (a) bind the infocard via account
management, and/or (b) assert to plaxo?

 

If I pay the $12 for the paid name, anyone know if the services
associated with the name would work _today_ (while I'm still trying to
grasp what's going on)?

 

Anyone willing to recommend spending time on installing the open source
ibroker server, as mentioned by the freeid service? Would such an effort
practically (and reasonably easily) help me get to grips with xri and
openid2 - in a controlled test lab?

 

Peter.
