[OpenID] [LIKELY_SPAM]Re: Problems with delegation and directed identity OPs

[Peter Williams]

This is beginning to sound like EAP/802.1x and cisco, where every vendor now does their own profile (which works with nobody else's supplicants/authenticators).

I just dont like directed, I dont do it. Tough UCI user!
I just dont like delegation, I dont do it. Tough UCI user!
I just dont like delegation with directed, I dont do it. Tough UCI user!

In that culture in general, the average SP working with the average user...cannot work with 1 IDP the way it works with another use yesterday (e.g. myopenid) - undermining UCI therefore. Sites HAVE to be tuned for the IDP in question.

What a shame! OpenID had SO MUCH potential to do better than idp-centric federation networks.

or, we create a conformance/interoperability forum, like WIFI, to stop the mess before it undermines public confidence in end-end **interoperability** of ALL the major modes of interworking defined in the OpenID2 spec.

Verisign works because the <LocalID> matches what is returned in openid.identity.

Google is not supporting delegation as far as I can tell probably smart on there part.
