This doesn't really work in the model. The goal is to let anyone set up their own OpenID and that basically across the OpenID universe it works. You limiting it to only like verisign or other 'big' IdP's is not really part of the vision of what we are trying to build. Obviously behind this whole network needs to be reputation for IdPs and individual OpenID addresses. So this is the problem we are trying to figure out how we can message the users that we support OpenIds from certain providers (say Verisign PIP) but not from all. This is one way to approach it and I hope you don't do it this way because it breaks what OpenID is about.
ahh...that is where further reading of what i-names and i-numbers are about would help. Because there is another level of indirection built in, when an i-name is reassigned the i-number below it is not. This helps users not have the 'reclaiming by someone else problem' when depending on URLs. ______________________________________ Identity Woman: Saving the world with user-centric identity. www.identitywoman.net |
