However, I don't like these imposed ids of mine. Fortunately I own a domain name evaldas-taroza.lt which is quite a friendly way to identify myself on the Web.
Here is how I set up my identity (according to the article on delegation):
- Since I link http://evaldas-taroza.lt to this blog, I configured a subdomain id.evaldas-taroza.lt to stand for my OpenID
- Then I configured my new subdomain to point to a simple Web page (http://id.evaldas-taroza.lt):
<html>
<head>
<link rel="openid.server" href="http://taroza.wordpress.com/?openidserver=1" />
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://taroza.wordpress.com/" /><link rel="openid2.provider" href="http://taroza.wordpress.com/?openidserver=1" />
<link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://taroza.wordpress.com/" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The tricky part was to figure out what is the OpenID server at Wordpress (that's in bold).
Now I can login to every OpenID consumer with id.evaldas-taroza.lt which is the id I own. When I get bored using Worpress as an OpenID provider I can switch to Google, Yahoo, etc. and still keep it as id.evaldas-taroza.lt!
UPDATE: Looks that Wordpress openid support with delegation does not always work. So I switched to myopenid.com (I like that green color that they have). For an example how to configure delegation specifically for myopenid.com you can look, for instance, here.
Thanks for this article :)
