Question

Got a problem with my openID.

A couple weeks ago I noticed I could no longer log in with my URL delegating to an underlying OpenID provider (getopenid). I checked their server and it was returning and error, so I switched over to myopenid.com. I’m still not able to log in anywhere though (luckily, my browser hasn’t pushed me out of this login yet!).

I get openid endpoint not found. I’m using these elements:

<link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" /> 
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http:/ /fberriman.myopenid.com/" /> 
<link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://fberriman.myopenid.com" /> 
<link rel="openid2.provider" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" /> 
<meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location" content="http://www.myopenid.com/xrds?username=fberriman.myopenid.com" />

(in the head of fberriman.com)

Is it a mistake in the tags (copied from myopenid’s help pages, just to be on the safe side), a wordpress related problem or something on the server? I can’t get the openid test page to even return me an error other than the ‘no endpoint found’. Any pointers greatly appreciated (I’m no server admin, mind you).

Answer 1

Looking at the source on http://fberriman.com/, I find:

<link rel="openid.server"
        href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" />
  <link rel="openid.delegate"
        href="http:/ /fberriman.myopenid.com/" />
                   ^^^ There's an extra space here

So OpenID consumers that support OpenID version 1 might get confused.
