OpenID Attribute Exchange Configuration

[Erik Ankrom]

I want to get values from the AX response of my employer's Associate OpenID provider, but I'm confused on what values belong in the <backend>_AX_EXTRA_DATA setting as documented here: http://django-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/backends/openid.html

Can anyone provide an example of what these values should be?  For example, how do I update the nickname (username), First Name, and Last name, to the default Django user model, given the attributes conform to the following schema?

• http://axschema.org/namePerson/first - Associate's preferred first name
• http://axschema.org/namePerson/last - Associate's preferred last name

The pluggable backend I have so far is documented here: http://erikankrom.github.com/django-cerner-auth/

Hi Erik,

Honestly, never used that feature, but the idea is that you define a set of AX
names for your backend in the form:

CERNER_PROF_OPENID_AX_EXTRA_DATA = (
('http://axschema.org/name/resoures', 'alias_name'),
(...)
)

The "alias" shouldn't collide with other alias defined or an exception will be
raised.

Anyway, first and last names are already requested on any OpenId backend [1],
and I don't see any override on your backends, so it should just work.

Does the provider respect Attribute Exchange URLs? Maybe they use openid.org
schemas, trying these ones maybe?

CERNER_PROF_OPENID_AX_EXTRA_DATA = (
('http://openid.net/schema/namePerson/first', 'first_name2'),
('http://openid.net/schema/namePerson/last', 'last_name2'),
('http://openid.net/schema/namePerson/friendly', 'nickname2'),
('http://openid.net/schema/contact/internet/email', 'email2'),
)

I know for sure that google doesn't send email when using openid.org URLs, but
it does when using axschema.org one. Sadly the openid doc is a mess on this
area and axschema.org is down for a while already :D

Regards,
Matías

Still no luck after attempting multiple _AX_EXTRA_DATA schema configs.

I'm working with estebistec on trying to figure out why either the Cerner OpenID provider is not returning AX attributes, or DSA isn't recognizing them.

Just now getting around to posting a solution, but the provider was not publishing AX capabilities as expected.  Working as expected after the provider updated their capabilities. 

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the update.
