<head></head><body><br><br>Ok,<br><br>This will probably go down in the history of silly things I have thought about at 11pm...<br><br>I have an iname through 1id.com (=avery). I set up as a tag, a reference to my usual OpenID URL =avery(+myopenid). Going to <span title="http://xri.net/=avery/(+myopenid)">http://xri.net/=avery/(+myopenid) properly resolves my my myopenid.com account.<br><br>Why would I do such a silly thing? Because I established aglasser.myopenid.com well before I registered my iname.<br><br>I tried to log into the OpenID.net/wiki using:<br> =avery+myopenid<br> =avery(+myopenid)<br> =avery/(+myopenid)<br> </span><span title="http://xri.net/=avery/(+myopenid)">http://xri.net/=avery/(+myopenid)<br><br>My assumption is that when the wiki attempted to resolve the iname for authentication, it would resolve to aglasser.myopenid.com. Each time, it kicked back a failure. Of course, going in with =avery worked fine. Going in with aglasser.myopenid.com worked fine as well.<br><br>This leads to an interesting set of thoughts - at least interesting for this time of day...<br><br>1) As </span><span title="http://xri.net/=avery/(+myopenid)">http://xri.net/=avery/(+myopenid) resolves to aglasser.myopenid.com - shouldn't this work as a valid OpenID Identity URL?<br><br>2) If the answer to #1 is yes, shouldn't I be able to use =avery(+myopenid) as a valid iname for authenticating to the wiki?<br><br>3) More fundamental (and probably out of scope for this group), shouldn't an inames registrar allow one to set a default OpenID Identity URL independent of the iname account?<br></span><p>- Avery<br></p><p><br></p><p>-- <br>==============================<br>Avery Glasser<br>VxV Solutions, Inc.<br><br>+ 1.415.992.7264 - office<br>+ 1.415.290.1400 - mobile<br>+ 1.415.651.9218 - fax<br><br> <br>329 Bryant Street, Suite 2D<br>San Francisco, CA 94107<br>==============================<br><br>This e-mail (including any attachments), is confidential and intended only for the use of the addressee(s).
