This might be a dumb question, but why is it a problem if non-Ubuntu LP users see an Ubuntu-branded SSO site?

I'm still trying to get up to speed but it seems like earlier in this mail you mentioned becoming a general OpenID provider, now you mention LP already has stopped being an OP? I use https://launchpad.net/~statik/ to login via openID to various 3rd party sites such as stackoverflow.com. Is this going to stop working ?(I won't complain if it does, just trying to understand) > In summary: fix bug #637968, make LP a general RP, destroy > login.launchpad.net. This sounds like a good summary, although I would like to understand why is making LP a general RP a necessary step? -- Elliot Murphy | https://launchpad.net/~statik/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
