Description

Redmine should "include the attribute exchange parameters to authentication requests to access user information (such as name and email)" (quote: Google OpenID documentation), and i think this not what our OpenID implementation does now. As of r2847 , the attribute exchange doesnt work with Google accounts (this id the only provider i tried), and i think this is a major usability issue with the recent state of OpenID support.

The OpenID support as it is now is useless.
Please provide a way to define the required user details or enable only the bare basic openid support (just to allow a user to log in).

I would also rise the priority for this issue, though, hope it won't take months to be solved.

Thank you in advance.

Here's a work around (dirty, lazy hack) which works for us with Launchpad's, WordPress's, Yahoo's OpenID.

+1 -- the patch is about the same hack I made, but seeing something more robust built in would be nice.

Stas:

Redmine is developed by a group of volunteers. This hasn't been a high priority feature, which might be why no one has contributed their free time to build a more robust system for this.

Since this is important for me, I might consider spending some time/$ for coding/testing, if you could guide me what exactly is to be expected from existing patch/features making it a possible fix.

I agree with you and I know what volunteering means, but this was more like an ignorance.

Is there any progress in this case or I have some wrong settings? This doesn't look very well ;?(
