OpenID Delegation on WordPress
August 17th 2008
Thanks to Gary Krall, tech director of PIP at Verisign, I have a recipe for “works every time” OpenID delegation with their free PIP service. First, what is OpenID delegation?
Delegation lets you use your very own URL as your identity URL for logging in with OpenID. For example, I can use http://www.cryptosmith.com/ to log in to web sites. To do this, you have to provide some special statements (a.k.a. magic) in your HTTP files that redirects the OpenID process from your web site to the service that actually does your OpenID authentication.
