OpenID on PostNuke (Proof of Concept)

[Owen Davis]

Hey, Shawn,

Cool beans... here's my experience...

I tried logging in with my i-name at tunsync & shawnsbits but neither  
completely works.

Tunsync:

A couple days ago attempting the login at tunsync got the proper  
redirect, but my OpenID service thought that http://xri.net/=owen  
(what I entered at Tunsync) was a different user than =owen (as I'm  
known at my OpenID store).  Note that the exact same use case works  
just fine at http://sxore.com.  There I can enter *either* version of  
my i-name, be redirected to my OpenID service, and authenticate  
properly.

Today tunsync doesn't even do the re-direct.

Shawnsbits:

At shawnsbits I get redirected to my OpenID service and get to see a  
nasty error message.  :-(

Cheers!
