Tilman Bender commented on JSPWIKI-94:
--------------------------------------

Andrew, 

I am not sure if I got you right. What do you mean by the "lack of assurance 
over authentication"? Somebody setting up a rogue OP to create fake profiles 
for other people?
Could you please elaborate on the specific scenario you have in mind.
 
Couldn't the scenario look like this:

1. the wiki is non public
2. If a user with a new OpenID wants to register, they can do so (probably 
using sreg, if supported by their OP).
3. If the OP is on the whitelist, all is fine. If not so, registration needs to 
be confirmed by the wiki admin.

I know this isn't really the "everybody can edit" philosophy of a wiki, but as 
we are talking about the need of authentication here, this should
not be an issue anyway.
