### "meta openid" problems I have add the followning to _index.mdwn_ on my site. \[[!meta openid="http://certifi.ca/lunix" server="http://certifi.ca/_serve"]] This resulted in the following being added to my site --> Perhaps I have done something wrong but this fails to work when I try to log in to several sites using my sites url as my login. If I edit index.html and remove the two openid2 lines all works fine. **Is there a way to only add openid version 1 tags to my index.html ? Or a way to make it work the way it is ?** --[Mick](http://www.lunix.com.au) > Before I think about adding a way to not add the openid 2 tags, > I'd like to know what the problem is.

I can't login to identi.ca.unless I comment out the openid2 lines.(this may be there problem, I get sent to certifi.ca's site and redirected back to identi.ca) I will test all the different openid enabled sites I log into today and see what happens. It seems that since I have moved my site to its final location and made it live over night I am able to login to most places now. I do not have a proper understanding of the inner workings of openid so not exactly sure what part is failing but I think the problem lays with the consumers not falling back to the openid1 tags when they are openid1 only consumers. --[Mick](http://www.lunix.com.au) > So, just to clarify, certifi.ca works ok (I verified this, logging into identi.ca using it). > You had the problem running your own openid provider which did not support 2.0, in which case, > consumers seem justified in not falling back (guess; I don't know the 2.0 spec). > The only way this seems fixable is to add an option to meta to allow disabling openid 2.
