Bluedevs is always trying to give its users new features and now we finally have OpenID. BLuedevs now offers OpenID to any bluedevs user or developer who requests it. OpenID is a secure user-crentric identification system in which your are identified by your URI. Instead of having to visit a website and creat an account and memorize countless usernames and password, one can use OpenID. When you visit a website that allows users to login with their OpenID, you enter in your OpenID (like openid.bluedevs.net/techwizrd). Your OpenID provider will popup a window asking you if you want to Allow Forever, Allow Once, or Deny access to your OpenID and subsequently create an account at that site. In addition, each OpenID can have mutiple personas (school, work, blender, programming, linux, etc.) and may proivde different information for each persona. If one went to a Linux site that uses OpenID (such as OSSpinions), one could send a specialized profile with information pertaining to Linux or FOSS only and leave out unnecesary or personal information. OpenID makes browsing the web easy and fast and helps users create a lasting identitiy that doesn't go down if one company goes down. OpenID has already been implemented by many large companies including Yahoo!, Google, and Microsoft as well as other smaller companies. If you would like a bluedevs OpenID, please send and email to theninj@Bluedevs.net with the following template in plaintext. HTML email will be deleted immediately. Spoiler: click to toggle An invitation email will be sent to you that will include an activiation URL. Your OpenID will be 'openid.bluedevs.net/USERNAME'. If you would like to use your website URL or blog URL as your OpenID, please inser this HTML snippet between the <head> tags. Replace USERNAME with your OpenID username.
if I inserted this snippet onto mydomain.com, I could use mydomain.com as my OpenID. |
