I think that I have logged in using openid! But I think the login page
|
|
could use some adjustemnts.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the openid stuff should be seperate, unless I was supposed to login
|
|
as well. Also have I just created an account on this wiki as well?

OK, my openid login works too. One question though, is there a setup parameter which controls whether new registrations are permitted at all? For instance, I'm thinking that I'd like to use the wiki format for content, but I don't want it editable by anyone who isn't already set up. Does this work? --[[Tim Lavoie]]

# How to ban an IP address?
|
|
|
|
There is a way to ban ikiwiki users, but how to ban an IP address?
|
|
For example if a bitchy anonymous is bombing our poll. I can use
|
|
only Apache/iptables rules for this? Maybe it's related to
|
|
[[ACL|todo/ACL]] request? --[[Paweł|ptecza]]

### Logging Out
|
|
|
|
If I've logged in by OpenID, how do I log out? I don't see any logout
|
|
button anywhere on IkiWiki. (is it because I hit "forever" for my OpenID authorization duration?)
|
|
> No, it's because it's on the preferences page! That's somewhat non-obvious...
|
|
|
|
>> This is a problem with having a static wiki. If I just put "Logout" as
|
|

Even if IkiWiki does let me log out, how do I *stay* logged out? Let's say I'm using a kiosk. What's to prevent someone else from hitting my OpenID service right after I've walked away? My OpenID service will just auth the login again, won't it? --[[sabr]] (behavior seems to vary... does it depend on the OpenID service? guess I have some docs to read.)
|
|
|
|
> If you're at a kiosk, you'll need to log out of your openid provider too.

I'm having a problem using my preferred openid. I have
|
|
http://thewordnerd.info configured as a delegate to
|
|
thewordnerd.myopenid.com. It works fine on Lighthouse, Slicehost and
|
|
everywhere else I've used it. Here, though, if I use the delegate I'm sent
|
|
to my openid identity URL on myopenid.com. If I use the identity URL
|
|
directly, I get the verification page.
|
|
|
|
Is my delegation broken in some way that works for all these other apps but
|
|
which fails here? Or is something broken in Ikiwiki's implementation?
|
|
|
|
> I guess this is the same issue filed by you at
|
|
> [[bugs/OpenID_delegation_fails_on_my_server]] --[[Joey]]
|
|
|
|
Yes. I'd only recently set up my server as a delegate under wordpress, so still thought that perhaps the issue was on my end. But I'd since used my delegate successfully elsewhere, so I filed it as a bug against ikiwiki.

###Pretty Painless
|
|
I just tried logging it with OpenID and it Just Worked. Pretty painless. If you want to turn off password authentication on ikiwiki.info, I say go for it. --[[blipvert]]

###LiveJournal openid
|
|
One caveat to the above is that, of course, OpenID is a distributed trust system which means you do have to think about the trust aspect. A case in point is livejournal.com whose OpenID implementation is badly broken in one important respect: If a LiveJournal user deletes his or her journal, and a different user registers a journal with the same name (this is actually quite a common occurrence on LiveJournal), they in effect inherit the previous journal owner's identity. LiveJournal does not even have a mechanism in place for a remote site even to detect that a journal has changed hands. It is an extremely dodgy situation which they seem to have *no* intention of fixing, and the bottom line is that the "identity" represented by a *username*.livejournal.com token should not be trusted as to its long-term uniqueness. Just FYI. --[[blipvert]]

Submitting bugs in the OpenID components will be difficult if OpenID must be working first...
