OpenID Authentication

[Thomas Duerr]

I changed my Backpack account to OpenID authentication. Since then the
FF-extension does not show the pages anymore.
There is no way to set an OpenID in the extension-options. So I would
like to ask you to include some. I hope this is not a big issue.

many thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

The extension will work with OpenID. I've been using the OpenID
feature for a few months now. If memory serves, when you switch to an
OpenID type login, a new API key is generated. Can you check your API
key in your Backpack account page and use the new key in the extension
options? Please let me know if this works.

I know it might make sense that the extension options would ask for
your OpenID, but that's not how the Backpack API works. You still
need to provide your user name and API key.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,

I'm sorry for my confusion. Everything is fine again again.
It was sort of a strange coincidence that after switching from common
login to openID the extension was not working for a while.

Anyway many thanks for your reply.
