Yahoo/OpenID Confusion
Sunday, January 18th, 2009The following are valid OpenID using Yahoo:
- http://me.yahoo.com/wdr1
- http://yahoo.com/
The following is an invalid OpenID:
- http://yahoo.com/wdr1
When you get your OpenID from Yahoo, it tells you the ‘http://me.yahoo.com/wdr1′ bit is created.
A bit later, when you access your first OpenID site, and click “Yahoo”, it typically defaults to ‘http://yahoo.com/’.
Remembering the creation process, you add ‘wdr1′ to the end, only to get an error.
Is this something common to OpenID providers or unique to Yahoo’s implementation?
