1 == About WedId support ==
2
3 This is a playground for [[FOAF+SSL>>http://esw.w3.org/topic/foaf+ssl]] integration in XWiki.
4 Currently you can get yourself an account on here, the normal way, then create yourself a [[WebID>>http://esw.w3.org/topic/WebID]].
5
6 HOWTO
7
8 * Create an account here with a password
9 * On your profile page create a WebId, a certificate will be added to your browser
10 * You can then login to a [[growing number of sites>>http://esw.w3.org/topic/foaf%2Bssl/RelyingParties]]
11
12 Features:
13
14 * When you get yourself a WebId you automatically get an OpenId too that uses foaf+ssl authentication via http://openid4.me/ . The openid is a bit ugly for the moment (it is too long). Making it shorter is on the todo list below.
15 * We now support Internet Explorer: to get this to work
16 *1. open an account
17 *1. go to [[WebId.CreateCert]] and follow the instructions if you have a browser after IE6.
18
19
20 Todo:
21
22 * Looking for ways to simplify IE cert creation!!! Please let us know of any cool tricks you may know of.
23 * Public profiles should have beautiful URLs, and short ones too ( something like http://webid.myxwiki.org/id/bblfish )
24 * Add the ability to login to this site using WebIDs create elsewhere (or from this site). We will do this in two steps
25 *1. Use an external [[FOAF+SSL>>http://esw.w3.org/topic/foaf+ssl]] identity provider, such as https://foafssl.org/srv/idp
26 *1. Build a component that can be added to XWiki or Restlets so as to not require an external IDP (this will require support for https though)
27 * Add Access Controls to parts of this wiki for members of given foaf:Groups
28 * [enter your idea]

30 Web site Issues:
31
32 * Currently http://foaf.me/ redirects people who log in there to their home page. They are working on a fix for that.
33
34 Browser issues:
35
36 * Firefox and Opera work very well.
37 * Internet Explorer may have a certificate creation issue, as it uses ActiveX. We are testing this
38 * for Chrome on OSX try the [[latest development snapshots>>http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/]] .
39 ** it will be able to make a certificate and add it to the keychain
40 ** you can then log into to https://foaf.me/simpleLogin.php and a few other apache based demo sites.
41 ** The Chrome SSL stack is being fixed. See [[issue 36207>>http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=36207]] and [[issue 37765>>http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=37765]]
42 * Safari on OSX has the same issue as Chrome above, but it is very difficult to get any response from their developers through their bug database. If you know how to bring their attention please do.
