Hi Varun,

From your earlier post, it looks like you'll develop your code
with .NET. So you can try the DotNetOpenAuth library which supports
Yahoo! AX:
http://www.dotnetopenauth.net/

It also has a forum that specializes in using that library:
http://groups.google.com/group/dotnetopenid

Thanks,

Hi Yu Wang,

Yes you are right. I a will develop code using .Net.
I downloaded the latest version of samples from http://www.dotnetopenauth.net/
but:
1) the consumers shown as example are Twitter and Google.
2) There is no mention of Yahoo! AX implementation anywhere.
3) There is no proper documentation provided for the library too.

Kindly Help!!

Varun

Hi Varun,

Sorry I don't use the .NET library before. You can check
with the library maintainer to see if they support Yahoo!
AX.

I would suggest you start integration with Google AX
first so you can get familiar with the library's usage.
Then you can change the request to see if it works with Yahoo!
AX. I hope it will work because both implementations follow
the AX spec. If you still see any issue after that,
then please come back and ask your questions.

Thanks,Yu Wang

Hi Yu Wang,

What is the Yahoo OpenID endpoint Url with which the query string of AX properties will be written like for Google its "https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/ud?openid.assoc_handle=AOQUfjq7X0w......"

I think i have the query string to be attached; tell me the exact yahoo OpenID endpoint Url

Hi Varun,

Yahoo! OP endpoint can be found through the discovery process:
http://openid.net/specs/openid-authenticat....html#discovery

Through that process you can also find all the extensions we support.

FYI, our current endpoint is:
https://open.login.yahooapis.com/openid/op/auth

Thanks,

Hi Yu Wang,

I got it to work. Yahoo! AX implementation. I can now get the user profile info. This is the URL with the parameters:

https://open.login.yahooapis.com/openid/op/auth?
openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select
&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select
&openid.mode=checkid_setup
&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0
&openid.realm=##Your Domain name##
&openid.return_to=##Your Return URL##
&openid.ns.oauth=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fextensions%2Foauth%2F1.0
&openid.oauth.consumer=##Consumer Key##
&openid.ns.ax=http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fsrv%2Fax%2F1.0
&openid.ax.mode=fetch_request
&openid.ax.required=email,fullname,nickname
&openid.ax.type.email=http%3A%2F%2Faxschema.org%2Fcontact%2Femail
&openid.ax.type.fullname=http%3A%2F%2Faxschema.org%2FnamePerson
&openid.ax.type.nickname=http%3A%2F%2Faxschema.org%2FnamePerson%2Ffriendly


You can only get specific fields from a persons profile as given here.
In the Required field write the sregs property name (comma seperated) (like openid.ax.required=email,fullname,nickname)
and then give the schema also (like openid.ax.type.email=http%3A%2F%2Faxschema.org%2Fcontact%2Femail)

Rest parameters need not be changed except for giving your realm,Return Url and Consumer Key
