[OpenID] Claimed Identifiers and Query String Parameters

[Joe Tele]

I'm looking for some insight regarding a relying party library I'm
integrating.  We are using the claimed identifier as a key in our
database to identify credentials for a user. However, it seems that some sites have virtually infinite number of claimed identifiers for the same OP Local Id.   



For example, with verisign a user may enter
myopenid.pip.versignlabs.com into our text box.  This is resolved to
http://myopenid.pip.verisignlabs.com/ as the claimed identifier and all
is well.  The user could also type in myopenid.pip.verisignlabs.com?a=1
which resolves to the claimed identifier
http://myopenid.pip.versignlabs.com?a=1 which corresponds to different
credentials for our database.  There is a very large number of urls which seem to correspnad to the the same verisign user but which we map to different users.  What have we done wrong?
