Following up on Brad's announcement of last week, I wanted to test out OpenID delegation. I just set up http://www.johnpanzer.com/ to delegate to Google's OP, which lets me use my own domain as my identifier. Earlier I was using AOL's OP; you can pick any OP you like without changing your identity. Doing this for a static web page like this is fairly simple:
- Make sure you know your Google Profile URL; it's useful to pick a nice readable one (which will be taken from the GMail namespace). Mine is jpanzer.at.acm.
- Add the following two links to the <head> section of your page HTML, substituting your own Google Profile link for jpanzer.at.acm:
<link rel="openid2.provider" href="https://www.google.com/
<link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://www.google.com/
Note that the Google OP supports only OpenID 2.0. This is a Good Thing.
Thank you very much. It's very useful for my authentication using google account and my personal domain.
