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? > The idea is that you fill in one or the other but not both.

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]] > Well, the polls are not something I would worry about much.

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.

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. > Or use a provider that doesn't use cookies to keep you logged in.

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]] > I doubt I will. The new login interface basically makes password login > and openid cooexist nicely. --[[Joey]] ###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...
