    <p>sreg was written as the Simplest Thing that could Possibly Work, and has a very limited set of fields available. But since that includes <code>nickname</code>, <code>email</code>, and <code>fullname</code>, that's often all you need.</p> <p>Attribute Exchange is much more extensible and featureful, although I suspect in practice features like the <code>update_url</code> and store request have not been widely implemented.</p> <p>As for knowing which to request: In theory, which extensions a provider supports is documented in the XRDS document available during the discovery phase, as noted in the <a href="http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#extensions" rel="noreferrer">Extensions</a> section of the spec. If you're using <a href="http://openidenabled.com/python-openid/" rel="noreferrer">python-openid</a> (or perhaps one of the other libraries at <em>OpenID Enabled</em>), you could query for that via something like</p> <pre><code>auth_req = consumer.begin('http://example.com/joe') from openid.extensions import sreg if sreg.supportsSreg(auth_req.endpoint): sreg_request = sreg.SRegRequest(required=['nickname','email']) auth_req.addExtension(sreg_request) else: # maybe AX, maybe something else... </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately, OpenID identifier delegation makes that pretty unreliable. The user may be using the HTML-based discovery method, which doesn't advertise extensions at all, may have an XRDS that doesn't include the same extension information as the provider does, or an XRDS that was once accurate but is now out of date.</p> <p>In addition, even if you do get an XRDS that advertises the AX extension, as far as I know it doesn't tell you which attributes the provider supports (i.e. which AX schema).</p> <p>The most practical approach is probably to request lots of stuff, and if you get some stuff back, you can use it.</p>

    1. CODo I ask for the extensions I want on every OpenID authentication, or should I stop asking if I think I already know the OpenID (which can be just 'google.com')...

    2. CO@joeforker, discovery responses could be cached as they do not change very frequently , reducing the number of OP requests and parsing overhead. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2799638/should-i-cache-the-xrds-file-returned-in-openid

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
