I indeed didn't know that, thanks a bunch for pointing it out. Like Mark I also would be interested on how this was achieved?
-- Dirk/Bart PS: Since it seems that the whole proposed OpenID strategy will only work for Charles, I better order a t-shirt with 'I AM CHARLES KRINKE' printed on it.

Click this: http://osgrid.org:8002/users/charles_krinke or this: http://ucigrid00.nacs.uci.edu:8002/users/crista_lopes Again, in this example Charles happens to have his identity at OSGrid, but that's not a requirement of the exchange. It could just as easily been an identity from another grid. This way various grids could all run "openID" servers, and trust agreements would need to be established between the various grids. I'm not going to act on anything that suggests "trust agreements between various grids." That's an AWG concept that I very much disagree with, and want no part in. I have no problem with companies cutting corners on security in order to be able to exchange agents on a lawyer-backed up trust basis. But that's not what I'm doing here, and that's not what a lot of people want OpenSim to be. The goal is to be able to go from my home standalone to *any* sim out there that I know nothing about, and still be sure that nothing bad will happen to my belongings. Anything less than this is not acceptable as a goal, for me. Crista
