Redmine

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.

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

Bump!
And soon we make an year.

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.

Thank you.

why isn't this factored in?!

I don't see the fix you refer to, Antoine. (Although, it could have been removed in the last year.) The only changes I see are in the repository and they involve allowing manual versus on-the-fly creation of users upon login, which Redmine provides currently and doesn't solve the problem this ticket identifies.

As this is relevant, I posted a patch here => http://www.redmine.org/issues/11778 <= that handles AX (Attributes Exchange) and works to auto-register users on Google and Yahoo (and probably others, but I only tested those two). I provide it more as an example of what needs to be done, but if it were to be pulled in, it does work better than the current implementation.

As well, if you like what you see and would like me to test & verify it across several OpenID providers (not just Google & Yahoo) and modify the code to include additional AX attributes as necessary, I can definitely do that and repost!
