Comments on: OpenID still struggling on WordPress http://www.cryptosmith.com/archives/220 Authentication, crypto, information security, and life with gadgets - Rick Smith Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:27:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Will Norris http://www.cryptosmith.com/archives/220/comment-page-1#comment-5773 Will Norris Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:42:59 +0000 http://www.cryptosmith.com/?p=220#comment-5773 I was just able to create an account, and add OpenIDs from both WordPress.com and Verisign (non-https version). Given that https OpenIDs seem to be failing, I'm going to guess that the curl ca-certs are <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openid/faq/" rel="nofollow">out of date</a>. I was also unable to add a MyVidoop OpenID, which could either be due to the same SSL problem or the lack of a Big Integer library on your server (toggle the status information on your OpenID config page and look for a failure regarding that). I'll also note that the current version of the plugin is 2.2.2 (release notes <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openid/other_notes/" rel="nofollow">here</a>). I'd love to help work through these problems if I can. I was just able to create an account, and add OpenIDs from both WordPress.com and Verisign (non-https version).
