Support for OpenID::SETUP_NEEDED in open_id_authentication plugin

rubyonrails-core

Hello,

This should interest anyone using open_id_authentication plugin. There is a bug in current version which causes that authenticate_with_open_id method doesn't yield the result but silently returns when server returns with OpenID::SETUP_NEEDED response.

This patch ( http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10231 ) resolves the problem.

I believe that SETUP_NEEDED should be considered in conjunction with immediate mode, I've added a second "proof of concept" patch to the ticket.

By the way, there could be a problem with the open_id_authentication plugin and PostgreSQL adapter, I suppose. Please take a read to http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/tree/browse_frm/thread/7d2cd4ffaa517c78/dc7dd20033011438?rnum=1&q=openid&_done=%2Fgroup%2Frubyonrails-talk%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F7d2cd4ffaa517c78%2Fdc7dd20033011438%3Flnk%3Dgst%26q%3Dopenid%26#doc_dc7dd20033011438 thanks,

Nicola

I've added some test to your patch.

Regarding the PostgreSQL issue, it seems (I didn't check it though) that underlying ruby-openid returns non-utf-8 characters as a secret. Did you try to change OpenID provider (from myopenid.com to something else)?

Cause of this problem I'm going with MySQL, anyway I've done a quick check and I've the same result with getopenid.com.

I'm puzzled, I've no idea where the problem is: * my postgresql/system configuration, * openid provider, * ruby-openid, * openid_authentication_plugin, * my RoR code Suggestions?

Thanks, Nicola
