+ <h1>DotNetOpenAuth samples </h1>
+ <h3>Prerequisites:</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Microsoft .NET 3.5</li>
+ <li>Visual Studio 2008 or IIS (Visual Studio 2005 is reported to work, however)</li>
+ <li>Microsoft Windows (XP or Vista, or 2003 Server or later)</li>
+ <li>See the tools section further below for some helpful software </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2>Getting the samples running</h2>
+ <h3>Testing the relying party/provider samples with each other</h3>
+ <p>In this scenario you can use the Personal Web Server (PWS) that is included in Visual
+ Studio 2008.</p>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Open the DotNetOpenAuth.sln or Samples.sln file in VS2008.</li>
+ <li>Right-click on each web project under the Samples folder and click "View in Browser"
+ to start PWS for each web site.</li>
+ <li>Each web project will be dynamicly assigned a port number.&nbsp; Find the port number
+ on the URL of the browser window for the Provider.&nbsp; </li>
+ <li>Now log into the Relying Party sample web site with this OpenID: http://localhost:<i>providerport</i>/user/bob.
+ </li>
+ <li>When the provider prompts you for a password, type in &#39;test&#39;.</li>
+ </ol>
+ <h3>Testing with other relying party/provider sites on the Internet</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>You need to have a public IP address to test the Provider sample with other Relying
+ Party web sites out on the Internet so they can find your Provider.&nbsp; </li>
+ <li>You might need to configure your firewall and/or router to forward traffic to your
+ computer.</li>
+ <li>Note that some OpenID-enabled sites block URLs that use just IP addresses.&nbsp;
+ You may need to get a DNS name to point at your public IP address in order for your
+ scenario to work.</li>
+ <li>Ensure your firewall is configured to allow inbound and outbound TCP port 80 connections.</li>
+ <li>Since VS2008 Personal Web Server (PWS) does not allow web requests from other servers
+ (as required by OpenID relying parties trying to log into your server), testing
+ with external relying parties requires you to use IIS to host your server.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h3>Setting up the IIS Applications</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Create an IIS web application for each sample.&nbsp; </li>
+ <li>Check that IIS is responding to requests on the port that your router will be forwarding
+ requests to you on, if applicable.</li>
+ <li>Enable anonymous access to each site.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>Configure VS2008 to use IIS rather than PWS</p>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Right-click on one of the web projects within Solution Explorer.</li>
+ <li>Select Property Pages.</li>
+ <li>Select Start Options on the left.</li>
+ <li>Under the Server section on the right, select Use Custom Server and fill in the
+ Base URL.</li>
+ </ol>
+ <h2>The demos</h2>
+ <p>These will illustrate OpenID in action. You can debug the code to get a good idea
+ of what's going on. The implementations are built on top of ASP.NET's forms authentication.
+ So basically if you're unauthenticated and get to page requiring authentication,
+ it takes you through the OpenID identity provider, tracks in session that you've
+ left and then recognizes the user when they return to the relying party and only
+ then logs them into FormsAuth and redirects them to their originally requested page.
+ </p>
+ <h3>The Relying Party Demo </h3>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Kill all session cookies</li>
+ <li>Create an OpenID account with one of the Open Servers listed below OR use the demo
+ Server as the identity provider - using http://[EXTERNAL IP]/OpenIdProviderWebForms/user/bob
+ with the password 'test'</li>
+ <li>Go to http://[EXTERNAL IP]/OpenIdRelyingPartyWebForms/default.aspx and enter the
+ OpenIDURL</li>
+ <li>You are required to authenticate with the provider. Some fields (eg Name, DoB, Country
+ etc.) are requested, some required and some omitted. Your OpenID provider should
+ prompt you for the relevant fields, or at least make you aware which fields its
+ passing back. The exact page flow and auhentication mechanism will be implemented
+ differently by different identity providers.</li>
+ <li>After providing the required info and loggin in, you are taken back to the http://[EXTERNAL
+ IP]/OpenIdRelyingPartyWebForms/default.aspx and the available profile information
+ is displayed</li>
+ </ol>
+ <h3>The Provider Demo </h3>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Kill all session cookies</li>
+ <li>Get the full openID url for a user based on whats in web.config. By default you
+ can use http://[EXTERNAL IP]/OpenIdProviderWebForms/user/bob with the password 'test'</li>
+ <li>Go to http://[EXTERNAL IP]/OpenIdRelyingPartyWebForms/default.aspx and enter the
+ OpenIDURL of the local server</li>
+ <li>The user is prompted for their password. The username field is propulated from the
+ openid url and grayed out.</li>
+ <li>The user is presentend with their identity url, a trust root (the site requiring
+ authentication) and set of fields to complete. Only the requested or required fields
+ are presented. Fields with * means the consumer requires it. </li>
+ <li>The user completes the fields and clicks Yes and are taken to http://[EXTERNAL IP]/OpenIdRelyingPartyWebForms/default.aspx
+ with their available profile information.</li>
+ </ol>
+ <h3>Interesting classes and methods</h3>
+ <h4>Relying party</h4>
+ <ul>
+ <li>DotNetOpenId.RelyingParty.<b>OpenIdRelyingParty</b> - programmatic access to everything
+ a relying party web site needs.</li>
+ <li>DotNetOpenId.RelyingParty.<b>OpenIdTextBox</b> - An ASP.NET control that is a bare-bones
+ text input box with a LogOn method that automatically does all the OpenId stuff
+ for you.</li>
+ <li>DotNetOpenId.RelyingParty.<b>OpenIdLogin</b> - Like the OpenIdTextBox, but has a
+ Login button and some other end user-friendly UI built-in.&nbsp; Drop this onto
+ your web form and you&#39;re all done!</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h4>Provider</h4>
+ <ul>
+ <li>DotNetOpenId.Provider.<b>OpenIdProvider</b> - programmatic access to everything
+ a provider web site needs.</li>
+ <li>DotNetOpenId.Provider.<b>ProviderEndpoint</b> - An ASP.NET control that you can
+ drop in and have an instant provider endpoint on your page.</li>
+ <li>DotNetOpenId.Provider.<b>IdentityEndpoint</b> - An ASP.NET control that you can
+ drop onto the page for your own or your customers&#39; individual identity pages
+ for discovery by Relying Parties.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h3>Development tips / Issues I found:</h3>
+ <p>Here is a growing list of <a href="http://openiddirectory.com/allcats.html">OpenID
+ enabled sites</a> to test with. </p>

+ * These sites seem to block outgoing traffic that is not on a non standard HTTP
+ port like 80 and 443. Therefore you'll need to host on a proper internet domain
+ before doing any testing with them.
+ <p>Useful tools:
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/">Fiddler</a> - this will allow you
+ to monitor HTTP traffic when using IE</li>
+ <li><a href="http://www.bayden.com/Other/">TamperIE</a> - allows you to change form
+ data before posting it</li>
+ <li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E59C3964-672D-4511-BB3E-2D5E1DB91038&amp;displaylang=en">
+ IE Developer toolbar</a> - good tool for general IE UI development. Has some neat
+ features for quickly clearing cookies etc.</li>
+ <li><a href="http://www.iopus.com/download/">iMacros</a> - good for automating web testing</li>
+ </ul>
