Okay, I’ve asked on the Community Server Forums and was totally ignored. So I’ll ask here. The OpenID provider (presumably janrain) for CommunityServer does not work with an SSL OpenID endpoint. I really don’t know of a non SSL OpenID endpoint and even if I did…I’m not sure if I’d want to use it.
I have a community server installation and all of my users are complaining that the signup/login form appears to support openid but doesn’t in reality. has anyone encountered this issue and addressed it?
Thanks in advance.
CS currently uses an old version of Janrain’s C# library. I think the next version is expected to use dotnetopenid. But even in its current release I would expect it to work just fine with SSL OP endpoints. If it didn’t, then no OpenIDs from myopenid.com would work for logging into CS and I would expect the CS guys would have noticed that.
However, if specific endpoints are broken, it may be a sign of another problem. If you can give specific OpenID endpoints that are not working then please send an email to dotnetopenid@googlegroups.com and I’ll be happy to investigate it further.
There’s a test OP Endpoint that is non-SSL that you can try out to see if it works by logging into your CS with this: http://nerdbank.org/opaffirmative/affirmativeidentity.aspx (yes, that’s actually a valid OpenID you can log in with without using a password).
