I'm new to Yahoo OAuth (just signed up) and am running into issues getting the token. Below is my query:

https://open.login.yahooapis.com/openid/op/...consumer=XXXXXX

Could you tell me what's wrong with this? All I get from Yahoo is: "Sorry! There is an error with the request we received from the website you are trying to use. Please try again in a few minutes. If this error persists please contact the site administrator."

Also, how do you guys debug issues like this?

Hi Sekhar,

The OpenID spec says openid.claimed_id and openid.identity can be
optional, so our guide has to follow that. The spec says:

"openid.claimed_id" and "openid.identity" SHALL be either both present or both
absent. If neither value is present, the assertion is not about an identifier,and will contain other information in its payload, using extensions
(Extensions).

(http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#anchor27)

We haven't yet seen/supported any extension that doesn't require
openid.claimed_id or openid.identity. So in practice they should
always be present. In addition, since you pass "openid.identity",
then we also need to look for "openid.claimed_id."

Thanks,
