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
16 === Todo ===
17
18 * of course the certificates created here should be created behind https in order to avoid a man in the middle attack in the certificate generation process
19 (given that WebIds are not being used for anything much this is not an urgent issue - but of course people will point this out)
20 * Looking for ways to simplify IE cert creation!!! Please let us know of any cool tricks you may know of.
21 * Public profiles should have beautiful URLs, and short ones too ( something like http://webid.myxwiki.org/id/bblfish )
22 * Add the ability to login to this site using WebIDs create elsewhere (or from this site). We will do this in two steps
23 *1. Use an external [[FOAF+SSL>>http://esw.w3.org/topic/foaf+ssl]] identity provider, such as https://foafssl.org/srv/idp
24 *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)
25 * Add Access Controls to parts of this wiki for members of given foaf:Groups
26 * [enter your idea]

28 === Web site Issues ===
29
30 XWiki deploys profiles in [[RDFa>>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-primer/]], which is still very new. A lot of the foaf+ssl community is just moving over to supporting that, so
31 a number of sites will seem broken when attaching from here.
32
33 * Currently http://foaf.me/ redirects people who log in there to their home page. They are working on a fix for that.
34 * Ontowiki and OpenDS don't log in
35 * The Cheese Lover's club is not functioning
36
37 === Browser issues ===
38
39 * Firefox and Opera work very well.
40 * for Chrome on OSX try the [[latest development snapshots>>http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/]] . ( [[issue 37765>>http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=37765]] was fixed 16 March )
41 * 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.
