Conseguir un OpenID

18 de febrero de 2008 · por David Bradley

Conseguir un OpenID¿Es su lista de usernames y las contraseñas para todos esos la tela 2.0 le localiza el conseguir del uso más de largo y más de largo? ¡El mío es! No un día va cerca sin mi tener que crear una nueva conexión. ¿No sería grande si podríamos todos apenas crear una sola conexión para todo? Un pedacito como el pasaporte de Microsoft estaba para registrar en todo el Microsoft sitios pero sin el pedacito de Microsoft. En los pasos OpenID.

Con OpenID usted puede abrirse una sesión a todos sus Web site preferidos usando una sola identidad. Más que eso, le deja probarle es la misma persona a través de todos esos diversos sitios. Su OpenID lleva con él sus credenciales personales, su perfil, él es una utilidad portable en línea del karma.

¿Así pues, cómo trabaja y cómo usted consigue un OpenID?

Una vez que usted tenga un identificador de OpenID (que es básicamente un URL especial) que usted puede firmar adentro a cualquier sitio que acepte OpenID sin la necesidad de crear un nuevo explique cada individual localice. Si usted está en LiveJournal, TypeKey, WikiTravel, GreatestJournal o voz usted tiene ya un identificador de OpenID.

Si usted está en uno de estos sitios (es decir. un blog o un sitio recibido) su OpenID se encaja en su sitio y usted no necesita hacer cualquier cosa. Por ejemplo, si usted tiene a WordPress.com el blog, su OpenID es simplemente el URL de su blog http://yourname.wordpress.com/. Si usted ve una caja de la conexión como esto en un sitio, usted mecanografía o goma en su URL de Wordpress (su OpenID) y sigue las instrucciones de la verificación.

Forma del signin de OpenID

Si su dirección del blog es http://matt.wordpress.com/ usted mecanografiaría eso en la forma del signin. Cerciórese de que primero le registren en su blog de wordpress.com sin embargo.

La forma del signin de OpenID llenó

La caja siguiente que usted ve le preguntará si usted confía en el sitio usted está visitando con su OpenID. Cerciórese de que usted lo haga, pero si es un sitio conocido grande usted será bastante seguro. Usted puede decidir si usted desea hacer la confianza permanente o pasar con el proceso de la verificación cada vez usted visita.

Confianza de OpenID

¿Así pues, dónde puedo utilizar mi OpenID? Bien, usted puede conexión al sitio bookmarking social de Ma.gnolia.com con OpenID, Drupal (que ofreció en higo de los Sig Sección de UberGeek recientemente), Mixx, Simpy, twitterfeed (le deja alimentar su alimentación de RSS a su cuenta del twitter), Plaxo libro de dirección en línea, usted puede demandar su blog encendido Technorati con OpenID. Para una lista completa de los sitios accesibles con la visita de OpenID el directorio en myopenid.com.

¿Qué sobre hackers? Well, unlike many past single sign-on systems, OpenID doesn’t rely on a central server with all its users information. Instead, the system is distributed and there are many distinct providers. You may have heard that Microsoft, Google, IBM, and Yahoo recently signed up to the OpenID system. As a potential OpenID user, you usually have to make a decision as to which provider you will trust with your information. Which is the most reputable and which is most likely to keep your data safest?

However, there is another way. If you’re not satisfied with the public providers, you can be your own OpenID provider because any URL can be your OpenID. All you have to do is add a few special lines to the section of one of your blog or website pages to define what the server for that ID is.

    David,

    I use OpenId for several of my online accounts. I wish more sites used it! I’m curious - what option did you choose for your OpenID, and why?

  • David Bradley // Feb 18, 2008 at 2:30 pm

    Deborah, so far I’ve only used OpenID for twitterfeed (with that I used a Yahoo account because that was months ago and was the default choice). However, I do have a Wordpress.com account and will most likely use that once the need arises, just because it seems so simple.

    I have a WordPress.com account, but didn’t realize it could be used for my OpenId. I created my OpenId with myopenid last year.

  • David Bradley // Feb 18, 2008 at 3:56 pm

    For sure. I think it’s been part of Wordpress-hosted blogs for a long while now.

    What systems are other users using and why?

    Sounds pretty cool, it sounds like a token type of system??? I know it isn’t as slick as this but I use Password Agent…..it is manual but with all the different users and passwords I have, it works for me…

  • David Bradley // Feb 18, 2008 at 6:58 pm

    Chas, it’s been around for quite some time, but is only now really attracting the attention of the big players. It is a token type system, yes, but what it could mean ultimately is uniform login and ID across all the sites you use.

    I work at Vidoop and we have an OpenID provider (http://myvidoop.com) and a really cool ‘password agent’ plugin to store the login and passwords from sites that don’t support OpenID. The plugin is easy to use and ties in to your OpenID account. e.g. Login to your myVidoop account, then browse on with no need to worry about logging in anywhere else. Good bye to worries about key loggers and phishing attacks…

  • David Bradley // Feb 19, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    Thanks for the comment Kevin. If any readers have used Vidoop, perhaps they could tell us about their experiences with it. I wonder how it compares to a system like Passpack

  • Tara Kelly (PassPack) // Feb 22, 2008 at 1:06 pm

    @Kevin — Hi. Yup, PassPack will become an OpenID consumer (not provider). We’ll also work towards better handling storage of OpenID’s alongside passwords.

    There are some changes in the works:

    @David — The difference (Kevin correct me if I’m wrong) between Vidoop’s password plugin and PassPack is:

    * PassPack uses online storage, so anytime/anywhere access. There’s also a button to auto-login to websites regardless if you’re on your usual computer, or elsewhere in the world.

    * Vidoop’s button is a plugin with storage on your computer. It can be used from a single computer.

    In general, plugins are easier to use, so we’d like to release one as an extra, while still maintaining the online storage.

    My 2c on Wordpress OpenID–
    I just wish they have the option to disable the OpenID feature. I use wordpress to blog, but I want to be able to choose if I want them to handle my identity, or not.

    Same goes for AOL, etc. People need to (1) be informed, then (2) make a choice.

    :) Tara

  • Kevin Fox // Feb 24, 2008 at 2:30 am

    @ Tara - the Vidoop plugin allows a member to store passwords locally or with myVidoop, whatever they choose.

    Cheres,
    Kevin

  • Tara Kelly (PassPack) // Feb 24, 2008 at 4:56 pm

    @Kevin - thanks for clarifying. Do people need to install the plugin to access their passwords?

    Also, are you able to see people’s passwords?

  • Kevin Fox // Feb 25, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    @Tara - People can manage their passwords just by logging in to their myVidoop account. Though the plugin would need to be installed for the auto-login and password saving to work.

    We are not able to see people’s passwords, they are all stored as hashes.

  • David Bradley // Apr 9, 2008 at 7:34 pm

    You can now use your Google account for OpenID
