Question

I am not sure how to get by this one. I am using openId with the dotnetopenauth library.

I have some predefined provider that when clicked does a jquery post to the server and does a request to the provider.

I get the url back from provider and I do window.open(….) and open it as a new window with a predefined height and width.

Now they log in and do all that great stuff. Now the provider sends me their information to a controller method that I specified.

Now after I authenticate them I want to go to a new page. However I want to the page to open in the main window and no the window that I opened with window.open(). I want that closed and gone.

I can’t get it to work. It will just start using that window.open() window to load all the pages in and I don’t want that.

So I no clue what to do.

It’s a complicated piece of work to get right, to be sure.

A couple of good examples are:

• NerdDinner (source)
• DotNetOpenAuth ASP.NET MVC 2 project template
