Comment on My ePortfolio sucks! by Eric

I really wish we had a standard for security on the internet where we just use one ID to log in to a website – save a lot of trouble remembering various types of passwords for different services.

Personally I think you have a pretty extensive online presence. Well done! Most people don’t realize the significance of participating in all of the social networking sites. It really can change things professionally and ‘individually’.

I was looking for the Role Manager Plugin and have come across your site
Great work on fixing the WPMU issue, could you detail this a little more?

Many thanks

Comment on How on earth do I add OpenID to my LDAP schema by sam

And lo there are three radically different solutions!

@miles yes – labeledURI would be the least painful hack I can think of and is likely what I’ll actually do.

@brian I looked at RPX briefly the other week and it would potentially hit a lot of my needs. I’m going to have a bash with it on some of my more experimental sites and see how it fares

@will the lack of published classes defining openid (and I had a bit of a look) was exactly why I wrote this post! Thanks for the pointer on custom objects, I’ll take a look at the docs. Still on balance I think an official published class would be oh-so-sensible.

Many thanks folks. Expect another post/update when I’ve got something working.

Comment on How on earth do I add OpenID to my LDAP schema by Miles Metcalfe

Why not use labeledURI? Is it that much of a hack? An OpenID is supposed to be a URL associated with a person, after all. Using, say, eduPersonEntitlement, now that would be a hack.

Comment on How on earth do I add OpenID to my LDAP schema by Will Norris

It is fairly common practice to use additional object classes to provides the additional attributes necessary for institution. Particularly common in US higher education is eduPerson. Additionally, SCHAC seemed to have some adoption in Europe. In any event, LDAP entries can most certainly have multiple object classes. I'm not aware of any published object classes that define an OpenID attribute, but it might be worth a quick search. If not, I would recommend creating a simple local "person" object class that defines whatever additional attributes you need (like OpenID). OpenLDAP documentation should outline how to install and make use of such custom object classes.
