<p class=MsoNormal>Hi – does anyone know of work going on to create an
OpenID test environment?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I only as I am using the dotnetopenid library which works
great with many RP’s but not as well against others. Basically, due to
the large number of variations debugging is a nightmare!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I also noticed messages on some sites indicating there were
known issues with some other libraries and so on.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Would be nice to have a test environment, the way I think
WS-I had (probably still have – I remember various vendors getting to
into a room and getting stuff to interop) when I was looking at that.<o:p></o:p></p>
