I keep getting

'Server Error

on http://demand.openid.net/login :/

:wait:

theoddbod 10. June 2008, 21:04

The original link doesn't even load for me.

The Dark Furie 10. June 2008, 21:09

The site's dead at the moment, but it sounds pretty cool.

Øyvind Østlund 10. June 2008, 21:19

How did Chris Messina get first. VIP invite?!? :D Non the less *demanded*

Seji 10. June 2008, 21:52

Working now :)

David 10. June 2008, 22:56

I never really trusted OpenID and since the "Debian OpenID desaster" I'm even more skeptical.

Øyvind Østlund 10. June 2008, 23:02

What disaster? Are you talking about OpenID or OpenSSL now?

Kyle Baker 11. June 2008, 00:20

Two words..
Do it. :D

Dustin Wilson 11. June 2008, 00:51

Ø.Ø

Surprise #2 of the day. I guess I have to work on OpenID now. Hahahahaha.

Yeah, it is a sign. When you get reminded twice in one week on MyOpera, then you just have to do it p:


[Edit] Seems like openid.net is down again.

It doesn't seem to work with "pip.verisignlabs.com" for me... (Opera 9.50 build 2034).

Шуйский Николай [krigstask, Ŝtérkrìg] 11. June 2008, 08:34

Any hope for MyOpera-provided OpenIDentities? I'd like to see brand MyOpera OpenID (-:E

BohwaZ 11. June 2008, 10:15

Yes I want it but not as a provider, just as a login possibility :smile:

Dan Alexandru 11. June 2008, 12:03

Or at least an HTTPS login.

Matt Cox 11. June 2008, 12:51

I demanded last month. :wink:

(and even mentioned it when I was in Norway last year... but apparently your 'OpenID guy' had left)

Tenno Seremel 11. June 2008, 15:34

Demanded as haruka.isopenid.ru :sherlock:

Anne 11. June 2008, 18:43

I'd like to demand it too but can't.
What does this tell me? :wink:

Nicolas Mendoza 11. June 2008, 22:43

Sterkrig: we'll see...

Шуйский Николай [krigstask, Ŝtérkrìg] 12. June 2008, 05:41

nicomen
OK, I'll wait and hope (-:E

David 12. June 2008, 12:07

I misread it (OpenID/OpenSSL) sorry for that.
Still, I won't need it. I do not trust OpenID, nor would I ever trust an OpenID provider and I do not see any advantages for me either. Maybe I'm just too paranoid. :zip:

Matt Cox 12. June 2008, 18:51

Hmm, if My Opera acted as an OpenID provider that would be quite interesting because... you could do something that I've been thinking a browser should do for more than a year.

Opera Link is built into the browser, and uses a My Opera account to login. Technically, being logged into Opera Link should mean you're automatically logged into My Opera whenever you're using your browser. It doesn't do this at the minute, but could.

If My Opera were to act as an Open ID provider, this would mean that since you're already logged into MyOpera, you're logged into all sites that you're using Open ID to authenticate.

Aside from someone jumping on your computer when you're not around, I can't think of any reason why this isn't as secure as having a password manager. Having the ability to associate your personal desktop browser with one or multiple Open ID accounts would mean it'd be easier than ever to log into your favourite websites - it's linking the browser with the person and seems to be what Open ID is all about.

David 12. June 2008, 21:20

@coxy:
Opera as OpenID provider would even make me thinking about it. That's in fact a good idea. :up:

Dan Alexandru 13. June 2008, 12:14

Aside from someone jumping on your computer when you're not around

That's why there's "ask for master password: every time needed"

Vetle Roeim 15. June 2008, 21:53

Chuck Norris says YES to OpenID chuck norris

theoddbod 15. June 2008, 22:00

I don't suppose he can get that link above working?

Charles McCathieNevile 16. June 2008, 01:20

I can't get the link to work either :frown:

Do comments here count as a way of expressing support for this idea?

Matt Cox 16. June 2008, 08:36

Charles McCathieNevile 17. June 2008, 09:02

Coxy, that would explain why I want Opera to be an OpenID provider... :wink:

Dan Alexandru 17. June 2008, 10:53

Don't bring up the monkey

David 10. July 2008, 12:09

So? Will Opera become an OpenID provider? I'd surely support that. :yes:

I Say Thee Nay! 14. July 2008, 16:00

I'm not very knowledgeable about such things, but it seems to me that with a number of sites probably not bothering to take up the idea (coding to accept OpenID), its uses would be limited. also, anytime I need to login somewhere, I can simply hit CTRL > ENTER and Opera happily chucks my login info where I need it to (after I've set it all up initially, of course).

So long as it was all voluntary, instead of manditory, I suppose it'd be okay.

Peter Lowe 28. September 2008, 05:40

Opera should start using OpenID on MyOpera not because of what's basically a novel way to get people to sign a petition, but because OpenID is the best solution to a god damn irritating problem - man am I getting fed up of having to register for forums and websites, every single time I visit a site and want to comment.

[mini-rant]
And of course because it's Opera, it won't be a shitty implementation like so many of the other sites (right Operators? right? great.) All the big boys seem to want to do is treat it as a low-energy marketing tactic, slapping up something half-arsed and sticking OpenID on to show how involved they are: cue press releases. Load of balls - Yahoo don't even let anyone else authenticate with them using OpenID, they just want people to go around advertising Yahoo's service, basically; Google have skillfully avoided adding it to almost all their services - although did manage to add something to Blogger that brought it back to the dark ages of the web (not possible to edit or delete comments if you auth'ed via OpenID, no way of seeing all posts by an author, etc. - essentially you're authing yourself as someone else, not quite the point); and Microsoft haven't even bothered actually producing anything other than a load of guff about how interoperable all their tech iserrwill be, rah rah rah. Gawd these corporations are frustrating. Hmph.

PS: speaking of the dark ages of the web - no comment preview? It's a good thing I'm perfect and never make any mistakes, eh? Phew.

PPS: when editing a post (well, when I was editing this post, at least), there's two checkboxes for disabling smilies, one of which was ticked (as it should've been), the other one blank. OK, I get the hint, I WILL USE SMILEYS AND I WILL BLOODY WELL ENJOY IT! TEEEEN'HUT!

Barraco Mármol Jerónimo 19. December 2008, 23:47

very good

FataL 17. June 2009, 07:11

With Opera Unite OpenID would be even better...
