The user logging in with a Google account is not supposed to write that when logging in, but rather <https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id>. The OpenID client library will accept that and redirect the user to a sign in page, which will return that string as the OpenID. It's not really usable as an identifier for edits and whatnots, but an alternative would be to use the attribute exchange extension to get the email address and display that. See <http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OpenID.html#Parameters>. + +> Yahoo's OpenID implementation works alike, but I haven't looked at it as much. It uses <https://me.yahoo.com/> to receive the endpoint. + +> I've added buttons that submit the two above URLs for logging in with a Google and Yahoo OpenID, respectively, to my locally changed OpenID login plugin. + +> Using the Google profile page as the OpenID is really orthogonal to the above. --[[kaol]] |
