[OpenID] Myopenid ax

[Peter Williams]

Ok. Getting there.

Anyone know of an existing private label op, a tenant of myopenid's (or anyone else's) domain service, that offers public enrollments (and I can define/populate an ax attribute or two)?

I recognise that im unlikely to find one - as the myopenid4domains service clearly targets enterprises (and naturally links to that enterpise's attribute source and its schema for ax ). Perhaps I just need to borrow an enterpise account from someone o start out. (Or run a demo webapp site offloading to a demo op tenant)

(we need std terms in this industry... For backend, tenant, offloading, last mile.... Private labelling will be big, just as it is in pki land)


Before I try to do a private label tenant integration using a demomls/myopenid handoff, using the firm's last mile integration toolkit, id just like to play with the resulting private label op that someone else has already done. Call me lazy, call me careful...I just want to send my very own ax attribute out...like pat does.

Looks like the myopenid integration toolkits are identical - in architecture - to similar last mile toolkits we already use for saml websso - when offloading from our own multi tenant  webapp site(s) to another site hosting that MT  webapp's current websso endpoints.  A switch can swap last miles, to now point to myopenid-hosted "domain" endpoints when coperating with openid-enabled rp entities (eg that aol mapping site that recently added openid signin)

Myopenid has evidently built a multi tenant op, from what I can tell, much like we did in mls land: one sass pool of server side functions: 100+ configurations - one per tenant.

Okay, I understand what you mean now. I don't think we actually have a
term for an OP that provides service in "your domain", so "private label
OP" works, or perhaps "OpenID for your Domain" to steal the
Google/myOpenID branding. :)

So I guess what you're looking for is an OP that:

  1. Provides OP services for an arbitrary, user-provided domain.

  2. Fully supports AX

For 1, the only provider I know of is myOpenID.

For 2, I know of no provider.

As far as I'm aware, Pbwiki is only an RP, not an OP.

Even if they do act as an OP somewhere, I'd expect them to do it in the
pbwiki.com domain rather than on, say, wiki.openid.net.
