Currently, users can't use their user page URLs on site A as OpenID on site B if they login to site A using OpenID - some users might want to do that for vanity purposes or whatever (because one person can have multiple OpenID URLs). To enable this, we need: * to have adding openid.server and openid2.provider to be independent from having an OpenID url * to allow logging to Special:OpenIDServer same way as logging in to the web site instead of just having an option to enter password.
I wouldn't recommend this. This isn't our job and we don't provide any uniqueness assurance. Let's stick to what we're supposed to be doing, not becoming a general web service.
I think you're talking about Wikimedia wikis - I agree that Wikimedia might not want to have this enabled, but other wikis might find this feature useful.

For openid-php-openid-782224d (taken from [1]) and OpenID-MediaWiki-1.16-r66255 [2] I created a patch which allows this per-wiki. 1. introduced a new switch /** * Allow to use User pages as OpenIDs even if user is using OpenID already * * If true, users can use their user page URLs of this site A as OpenID on another site B * even if user is using OpenID on A already * Some users might want to do that for vanity purposes or whatever * * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18635 * If false, prevent serving OpenID accounts (TODO list item; done) * */ $wgOpenIDAllowServingOpenIDUserAccounts = true; 2. renamed the README file of the MediaWiki extension to README.OpenID-mediawiki-extension - to avoid overwriting when merging with the openid-php files, as currently suggested in the documentation 3. made everything working in MediaWiki 1.16.2 under PHP 5.3.5 (the patch fixes "Call-time pass-by-reference is deprecated" error when using in PHP 5.3.x [3]) 4. complete patched code 4.1 OpenID__openid-php-openid-782224d_plus_MW1.16-r66255 (original code from openid-php and OpenID-MW extension [1] plus [2] 4.2 OpenID (patched version; on request) 4.3 diff between 4.1 -> 4.2 (attached here) [1] http://github.com/openid/php-openid/downloads (https://github.com/openid/php-openid/zipball/2.2.2) [2] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID (r66255.tar.gz">http://upload.wikimedia.org/ext-dist/OpenID-MW1.16-r66255.tar.gz) [3] https://github.com/openid/php-openid/issues#issue/8 "Call-time pass-by-reference is deprecated"
