OpenID Delegation

I've had a VeriSign OpenID since August and it works in conjunction with my PayPal security key. Pretty neat stuff, but I keep forgetting the long URL that represents me. Today, I took a few minutes and added some bits of code to my home page. With that code, I can just use my domain as my OpenID and it'll act as a delegate for my "real" VeriSign ID. Cool, huh?

Here's the code:

HTML:
  1. <link href="https://pip.verisignlabs.com/server/" rel="openid.server" />
  2. <link href="http://ckas10.pip.verisignlabs.com/" rel="openid.delegate" />
  3. <link href="https://pip.verisignlabs.com/server/" rel="openid2.provider" />
  4. <link href="http://ckas10.pip.verisignlabs.com/" rel="openid2.local_id" />
  5. <meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location" content="http://pip.verisignlabs.com/user/ckas10/yadis" />
  6. <meta http-equiv="X-YADIS-Location" content="http://pip.verisignlabs.com/user/ckas10/yadis" />

Now I'm not 100% that I need all those, but I came across various permutations in my searching and I figured I'd try to cover all the bases. I also figure that if I'm wrong, a reader smarter than I am will correct me. :-)

Now, when I need to provide my openID I can just use http://solo-technology.com which is much easier for me to remember.

Next, to humor Peter, I'll try to find a WordPress OpenID plugin that works.
