UPDATE
I managed to get it working although I’m not quite sure why 😉 It seems like python-openid uses a POST-request to issue the openid mode=associate and for some reason Google doesn’t like that. When I patched python-openid to use a GET-request instead everything worked fine. I’ll continue my investigation and update this post when I have more information. Below is the diff for my change.

Old question, preserved for context
I’ve been trying desperately to get the trac-authopenid plugin to work but with no luck.
We use Google Apps Premier at work so I’m trying to get openid auth working with that. I think I’ve set up all the required stuff (XRDS and such) as far as google is concerned and I’ve gotten it to work fine with apache2 + mod-auth-openid as well as using it on other sites (SO for example).
But I can’t seem to get it to work with trac-authopenid. I get redirected (via a form post, not a redirect as usual) to Google where I get to log in but when I return the plugin simply states that validation failed.
If i turn on debug logging I get this (I’ve replaced our domain name with example.com)

I tried writing some code directly against the python-openid library in order to narrow it down a little but I’m clueless. I’ve been able to reproduce the error with this code snippet:
from openid.store.memstore import MemoryStore
from openid.consumer import consumer
session = { 'id' : 'foobar' }
store = MemoryStore()
consumer = consumer.Consumer(session, store)
consumer.begin('https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/site-xrds?hd=example.com')
Which consistently outputs

Some version numbers:
Python 2.6.2
trac-authopenid 0.1.6
python-openid 2.2.1
I’m at a complete loss and I could really use some help.
Okay. I don’t have an Apps account so I can’t test logging in, but I can successfully associate with an apps domain with python-openid 2.2.4. Here’s a little debugging tool for making association requests: http://gist.github.com/288560
Your patch should not have fixed things; associate requests are always POSTs. And the Ruby library also always POSTs, so unless rpxnow has made some unusual modifications, rpxnow shouldn’t work when python-openid fails here.
I was about to ask you about the
openid.storeon your install, but if your minimal example with the MemoryStore reproduces it, that’s not it.I guess the only thing left I have for you is to suggest that you ask Google Apps customer support.
