Identity Management and all the technologies that are related to it are one of cloudviews’ core subjects. Supporting a highly adopted open Identity Platform as OpenID is mandatory for us. We will continue to test other technologies, like Information Cards (higgins) but with OpenID, for exemple, I’m already able to login with my I-Name: =paulo.calcada. Unfortunately, the OpenID module for wordpress is only able to recognize my I-Name in its URI version: xri.net/=paulo.calcada. But at least until XRI 2.0 is not approved or redesigned, the XRI_2_URI is acceptable :).
With this feature all our authors will also have their accounts turned into a OpenID account. They will be able to login in other OpenID enabled sites with www.cloudviews.org/author/foo_bar.
We will discuss OpenID with more detail soon. You can start exploring it by yourself at the OpenID site, or if you want more advanced stuff you can take a look into this Nat Sakimura’s excellent post: “Problems of HTTPS (&HTTP) based OpenID“.
