Google OpenID claiming no longer working #441

Open axelson opened 9 years ago

axelson commented 9 years ago

When you click on the "G" button to claim your wiki with OpenID via gmail/google you get:

OpenID auth request contains an unregistered domain: http://example.com

Note: you only get this on newer domains (so not all will get it).

This is because Google closed registration to new OpenID 2.0 clients in May 2014 and will be shutting down the OpenID 2.0 service in April 2015. So we need to either support Google+ login, or drop google login.

IndieAuth OpenID delegation, which I tested on a fresh jon.fed.wiki.org domain, also didn't work. Maybe we can rename this issue and just call it "OpenID claiming no longer working" and add a checklist for

whichever else doesn't work? We could then link to the provider-related issues from here.

Until then this issue is a duplicate of #415

As I understand Google's position they will stop providing OpenID in a month or two. I've been using Yahoo for new sites but figure that is a dead end too. I'll move a few sites I maintain to new locations by messing with the DNS entries. The rest will exist read-only if I understand this right.

The login messaging in the Ruby/Sinatra version has always been confusing. I have no energy for working on Ruby anymore. It is way too brittle from my experience. I'm afraid to touch it other than slipping in new javascript code. It served its purpose launching the federation. Its job is done.
