You've been listed on the wishlist at http://wiki.openid.net/WishList for quite some time. :) Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:03:21 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t44453 The start of implementation notes/resources are here: http://wiki.horde.org/Project/OpenID Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:49:28 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t44461 Hello Do they are some commit in cvs for this implementation ? a little start of code or do you have a delay for implemante openID in horde. thank you for your reply. > The start of implementation notes/resources are here: > http://wiki.horde.org/Project/OpenID Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:25:20 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t44654 http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2008/09/19/ThingsToKeepInMindWhenImplementingOpenIDOnYourWebsite.aspx Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:58:40 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t49220 ideas for login usability: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/openid_usability_problems.php Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:43:29 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t49592 Usability research from Yahoo! and notes about it: http://developer.yahoo.com/openid/bestpractices.html http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2008/10/open_id_research.html http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2008/10/15/YahooSharesOpenIDUsabilityStudy.aspx Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:10:01 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t49699 Google's implementation: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_is_now_an_openid_provider.php Wed, 29 Oct 2008 20:19:55 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t50166 http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_plaxo_openid_oauth_usability.php Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:16:17 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t52249 I noticed that the proposal for this was to use Zend_Crypt. Having used that, myself, I, personally, would recommend that phpseclib be used, instead: http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/ phpseclib has been discussed here before: http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8341#c2 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 21:43:52 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t57763 Thanks for the recommendation - we'll take a look before we dig into this.

See http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2011/01/30/LearningFromOurMistakesTheFailureOfOpenIDAtomPubAndXMLOnTheWeb.aspx, and the writeups linked from there. Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:30:40 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t61696 Well my mail set up has changed and (unfortunately) I'm no longer on Horde. I'm ashamed to admit I actually don't remember what prompted me to request this feature, so if I was the only requester, it's probably safe to drop this for now. That said, I'm not sure I agree with most of the points in the most recently linked article. This bug report may not be the best place for a rebuttal, but here goes: 1. The argument that OpenID solves a non-existent problem is poorly made, especially in the context of email. Half of the proposed workarounds are essentially: don't use the site if you don't feel like registering. The other half are: spend 5 minutes registering and use some 3rd mechanism to remember your login. 2. The irony-of-OpenID argument is tired. Yes, you need one additional registration to save potentially dozens of future registrations. Yes. you can make it sound ridiculous if you entirely neglect the second half of that statement, as many people have done since day 1. 3. Really the only valid criticism is that using a URL as an ID is confusing to end users. This is an education/familiarity issue. Any *developer* unable to grasp the OpenID credential exchange should not be handling my data. :) And I doubt Horde ever wants to implement a Facebook-dependent solution or cave to the argument that "no one really cares about security anyways." So to summarize, I don't need a third-party login feature any more, but if Horde were to implement such a thing, I still think OpenID is the way to go. :) Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:49:06 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6571#t61717
