RE: Problem using remote CrowdID server for OpenID Login (Liferay 5.1.

I have reslved this issue. It was not a problem with liferay.

CrowdID has sent a wrong redirect request leading to the wrong page. After correcting the setting in CrowdID everything is working as expected.

Sorry for wasting time,

Problem using remote CrowdID server for OpenID Login (Liferay 5.1.2

2009-02-15T19:47:23Z

Hello,

I'm currently facing a weird problem imtegrating Liferay (5.1.2) to use with CrowdID as OpenID-Provider.

When installing Liferay and Crowd on my local machine everything is working as expected:

1) My OpenID Account is "http://localhost:8095/openidserver/users/myaccount". I'm not already authenticated in CrowdID.
2) When I enter the OpenID in the Open ID Login Portlet of Liferay I get forwarded to the CrowdID server to authenticate (Login PAge of CrowdID)

When using a remote CrowdID server not on my machine it does not work:

1) My OpenID Account is "http://<remotehost>:8095/openidserver/users/myaccount"
2) When I enter the OpenID in the Open ID Login Portlet of Liferay, Liferay is still forwarding me to "http://localhost:8095/openidserver" (according to my firefox browser) on my local machine, ignoring the <remotehost> in my url.

Interestingly, when first logging in on the remote CrowdID server and then using the OpenID to log in via Liferay OpenID Protlet, I get correctly forwarded to the remote Crowd server. But if I'm not authentificated in CrowdID before login, forwarding to Crowd server does not work for me.

This is currently a big blocker for my project I need to resolve.

Has anyone successfully set up Liferay 5.1.X with a remote CrowdID server ? Or does anyone have an idea, if I have to change something in configuration - either Liferay or Crowd - to make forwarding to remote CrowdID server working ?

Thanks in advance,
Rainer
