[Arm-netbook] Fundraising and campaign status (and wiki authentication)?

[Paul Boddie]

I saw a collection of recent updates on the wiki, although the URL in the
following page is wrong:

http://rhombus-tech.net/fundraising/

Where...

https://crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro_desktop

...should be...

https://crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop

I tried to authenticate myself using various mechanisms in order to edit the
page, but...

* OpenID didn't work with the Python Package Index OpenID provider
* Google have discontinued their OpenID 2.0 support (yes, thanks Google for
breaking the Web again!)
* Wordpress claimed that I don't own my own username

Particularly the last one, but also the first one, sounds more like
communications issues between the wiki and OpenID providers.

I guess I could register, but I thought it might be helpful to indicate a
possible problem.

Paul

Google Still has OpenID Support, it's just that they forced everyone to
upgrade their authentication. See the relevent OpenID Documentation (
http://openid.net/connect/ ) and the google developer pages (
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OpenIDConnect and
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OpenID2Migration)

Right, and I'm not sure that ikiwiki's support has kept pace (I recently
noticed that certifi.ca are no longer up & running, and that myopenid
has also bitten the dust, so installed local-openid to allow me to use
openid:

http://bogomips.org/local-openid/

which suits me nicely, but probably not 99.99% of people.

OpenID seems to have fallen out of favour pretty seriously (at least in
part due to security issues) but I've not discovered what's supposed to
replace it, particularly if you don't want to rely on signing into some
major site to assert your identity.

It would be nice to get ikiwiki to support Mozilla Persona,
but so far not:

https://ikiwiki.info/todo/BrowserID/

Regarding google's OpenID, I'll see if I can remember how to log into my
diaposable google account, and do some testing ...

Cheers, Phil.

I understand, and i should make a note that it would be a really good idea
to add three more providers...

Microsoft - This requires some research, but they have OpenID Connect
Support.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn645541.aspx
https://dev.onedrive.com/index.htm


PayPal - This is an Odd one, but they also offer an login api...
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/identity/log-in-with-paypal/

FaceBook - This is one of the largest providers I can think of.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/v2.3
