Potential same server issues for Mediawiki OpenID provider and other website consumer
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Hi All,

Not installed OpenID extension yet, but I would like to verify if the following causes the mediawiki OpenID extension not to work:

Setting up on 1 server: a mediawiki that uses OpenID as provider (Bob), and another website (NOT USING MEDIAWIKI) that uses python OpenID open source code to act as a OpenID consumer (Alice).

The OpenID mediawiki extension website mentions that for 2 mediawikis on 1 server this will create a problem, (not explicitly mentions for having on 1 server 1 mediawiki and another website that uses python OpenID code).

See text https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID#Bugs_and_common_pitfalls:

  • one MediaWiki acting as OpenID server Bob does not work with another or same MediaWiki acting as OpenID consumer Alice on the same server. Advice for the moment: use two different servers while playing with the extension.

Thanks,
Albert.
