OpenID

From A Tale in the Desert

A Tale in the Desert supports the OpenID standard for single signon between Web sites. OpenID lets you log into many different Web sites without using a different password for each. Our goal is to allow you a single account with a single password to game, wiki and forum, and any other services we add in future to this site.

Using OpenID in A Tale in the Desert

Before you can log in you must set your webpass in game:

  • Log into the game and type /webpass atitd.org password
    • (meaning you replace password with a password of your choice - but not your game or bank one!).
  • Wait till you see the notification in game that your account data has been uploaded.
  • Your open id is atitd.org/openid/YourName
    • (where YourName is your game user name, e.g. atitd.org/openid/Sami).

Difficulties logging in

If you have problems logging in, first ensure that you have set your webpass as above.

Second, ensure you aren't blocking cookies for atitd.org (use this cookie tester).

If neither of those solves the problem, post to this forum or contact FaceAnkh or JulianJaynes ingame.

Third party sites

Third party sites can also use the atitd.org openid server to confirm the identity of users, meaning they won't need to reregister for each site. The process is fairly straightforward and example PHP code is available (implementations in many other languages too). If you're interested in doing this, contact FaceAnkh.
