When I use my OpenID, http://thewordnerd.info, I am redirected to
http://thewordnerd.myopenid.com, the identity to which thewordnerd.info
delegates. That is, I'm redirected to the exact identity URL, not to an
authorization link.
I am successfully using thewordnerd.info as my identity on many sites, so I
know the delegation is pretty standard. It's stock WordPress with the
delegation plugin. I also just attempted registration on http://identi.ca
and successfully exchanged sreg data. So it seems like something is broken
when using a delegate specifically with ikiwiki, and while I can use
thewordnerd.myopenid.com, I'd rather use my delegate and free myself to
switch to other providers in the future.
Hmm, I entered http://thewordnerd.info as the openid, and ended up at
http://thewordnerd.myopenid.com/ , which seems right? --[[Joey]]
Sorry, didn't notice this edit. But, no, that is incorrect. Entering http://thewordnerd.info or thewordnerd.info should do the exact same thing that entering http://thewordnerd.myopenid.com does--in your case, prompt you to log in, in mine, ask if I want to verify the request. It's redirecting to the page itself, not using it as an OpenID provider.
Unfortunately I don't speak or understand enough Perl to fix this, nor do I understand how to use its debugger, but it looks as if the consumer should support delegation. Not sure why it's behaving incorrectly here.
Your openid delegation is wrong.
Here is a working openid delegation (from http://joey.kitenet.net:)
The above is generated by ikiwiki, using the meta openid directive:
[[meta openid="https://joeyh.myopenid.com/" server="http://www.myopenid.com/server"]]
Here is your delegation:
So, your openid.server is set wrong; when loging in ikiwiki redirects to
the specified url, which is not behaving as an openid server at all. If it's changed
to use http://www.myopenid.com/server, it would work the same as mine.
I suspect that it was working for you on other sites that support openid
2.0 and XRDS, since the xrds file on your site seems to have the correct
http://www.myopenid.com/server url in it. Ikiwiki, however, uses perl
modules that do not support openid 2.0 or XRDS, and so the incorrect
openid 1.0 delegation is used. --[[Joey]]

Seems so, thanks.
For future reference, and in case anyone has a similar problem and searches here first as I did, I set my OpenID settings using the examples shown for the WordPress OpenID delegation plugin, which seem to work fine on a whole bunch of other sites but a) not here and b) are inaccurate according to the MyOpenID FAQ. I'll file a bug against that plugin to either update its example or remove it entirely. So not an ikiwiki bug, but someone's bug nonetheless.
