27th Wed

OpenIdAuthentication is depend on gem ruby-openid 1.1.4. In addition, ruby-openid 1.1.4 is broken with 1.0.1 gem :(
So, I applied patch(Ticket#10604) and they works well.

Install gem ruby-openid(2.0.4)
```
   1  gem install ruby-openid
```

Install plugin

   1  $ ./script/plugin install http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/open_id_authentication/

Apply patch

Get a patch and save as ticket10604.diff

Do some work in README

Creating tables

   1   rake open_id_authentication:db:create

Add some routes

   1  #config/routes.rb
   2    map.open_id_complete 'session', :controller => "sessions", :action => "create", :requirements => { :method => :get }
   3    map.resource :session

Generate SessionsController, and create vews/sessions/new.html.erb
Tip:NOT to use sample code in agilewebdevelopment.com. Use sample code in README.

   1      def open_id_authentication
   2        authenticate_with_open_id do |result, identity_url|
   3          if result.successful? && @current_user = @account.users.find_by_identity_url(identity_url)
   4            successful_login
   5          else
   6            failed_login(result.message || "Sorry, no user by that identity URL exists (#{identity_url})")
   7          end
   8        end
   9      end

Ommit version of ruby-openid

   1  #open_id_authentication/init.rb
   2  begin
   3  #  gem 'ruby-openid', '=1.1.4'
   4    gem 'ruby-openid'

I can't get it to work! I get redirected to yahoos openid site, and I click "Let me in", and I get back to my rails app, but always with the flash-error: OpenID verification failed

Using ruby-openid 2.0.4, and the OpenidAuth-plugin is installed from within Aptana and is already patched. Any idea?

In my app fail too. But authentication with yahoo is SUCCESS, but myapp has fail becase yahoo doesn't provide any infomation(like email, nickname...) which is necessaly for the app.

rails >> logger.debug status.successful? #=>true
logger.debug registration[:nickname] #=> this will fail
logger.debug registration[:email] #=> this will fail too
