Launchpad itself

Requesting actual name and email via OpenID?

Asked by Jerry Chong

Crossposting from https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/django-openid-auth/+question/84798

I was testing out the django-openid-auth library packaged in Ubuntu (https://edge.launchpad.net/django-openid-auth) so that I can allow users to identify themself with OpenID, and noticed that when logging in with Launchpad OpenID URLs, it doesn't request the user's name and email by openid.sreg. Is this intended? I've tried setting 'name' and 'email' as 'required' when connecting to the host, but doesn't appear to work either.

I do know that Launchpad is capable of returning these attributes with the identity, for example with UbuntuOne (http://one.ubuntu.com), so I suspect it's a matter of setting sreg parameters...

P.S - Also just noticed that in question #67028 (https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/67028) there's a 'trust root' involved, is that relevant to my question?

Launchpad will only send that information to certain (trusted) sites. If you have a site which uses Launchpad as OpenID provider, we can configure Launchpad to send that information to your site too.

So this mean that I cannot delegate openid authentication from my domain to my launchpad account? There is no email given to the sites I try to authenticate to.

Can you help with this problem?
