Over This

Kohana and OpenID

Tonight, I started playing with Kohana and OpenID, thanks to the OpenID module from http://code.google.com/p/kohanamodules/. I ran the authentication example with a OpenID I got from openid.org, but I kept getting a “Bad Signature” error. I wasn’t sure if it had anything to do with how I do my development work on my laptop, so I tried it with a test subdomain on my hosted server account, and it worked. Not quite satisfied with that, I got an OpenID from https://myvidoop.com/ and tried it on my laptop, and it worked!

Hmm, was my failure the first time due to user error or my OpenID from openid.org? For now, since it’s late, I don’t really care. myvidoop looks like it’ll be a much better site to manage my OpenID account in the long run. I’m just happy to know that I can continue to do development work on my laptop and don’t have to put everything on-line to test.

The next thing to figure out is why I am getting a bad signature error when I use the database driver instead of the file driver. After that, then I can figure out how to tie this all into some of the Auth module.
