Trying to understand the Zend_Auth OpenId
- by Will Olbrys
I'm using a slightly modified version of the Zend_Auth_OpenId classes to get openid logins from google apps. The results are very positive, as I seem to be getting successful results from Google.
I cannot get successful results passed to Zend_Auth, though. For example, Zend_Auth_Adapter_OpenId on line 241:
if (!$consumer->login($id,
$this->_returnTo,
$this->_root,
$this->_extensions,
$this->_response)) {
return new Zend_Auth_Result(
Zend_Auth_Result::FAILURE,
$id,
array("Authentication failed", $consumer->getError()));
}
The consumer calls login() which in turn calls the private method _checkId() in Zend_OpenId_Consumer. _checkId() always ends in redirecting to the openid server. How is this ever supposed to return a valid Zend_Auth_Result object?
I'm pretty close to giving up and trying to implement another OpenId library, but I'm so close to just making this work. I must be missing something so obvious!
Maybe I don't understand how openid works exactly, but if someone could help me understand I would really appreciate it.
