Platforms

Hyves supports multiple platforms for OpenID usage. Currently OpenID can be used by:

  • Mobile browser platforms
  • In-line IFrame
Mobile browser platforms

The Hyves OpenID pages will auto-detect any mobile phone browsers to show a mobile page. This page will work on almost any mobile phone.

In-line IFrame

It is possible to load the OpenID at Hyves flow in an iframe, the login for Hyves users will then happen through an popup. Keep in mind that the return_to at the Relying Party will also occur in the iframe, Relying Parties should be able to communicate this information back to the iframe container using the return_to page. See the working example at [http://openid.marjew.nl/].
