XRDS Documents

Here is an example XRDS capability document:

http://openid.net/signon/1.0 http://www.myopenid.com/server http://smoker.myopenid.com/ http://openid.net/signon/1.0 http://www.livejournal.com/openid/server.bml http://www.livejournal.com/users/frank/ http://lid.netmesh.org/sso/2.0 http://mylid.net/liddemouser http://lid.netmesh.org/sso/1.0

If this XRDS document was returned, using one of the listed mechanisms, for a URL, it would express the following information:

  • The URL is a Yadis identity URL.
  • This URL supports the OpenID protocol, through two servers and two delegates.
  • This URL supports version 1.0 and version 2.0 of the LID protocol, with a delegate.
  • The owner of this identity URL prefers to sign-on using their LiveJournal account and the OpenID protocol (priority 10). If that is not possible (e.g. because a relying party does not support OpenID, or because the LiveJournal server is unavailable), the owner would like to use the LID URL http://mylid.net/liddemouser (priority 20), followed by the MyOpenID service (priority 50).

Famous quotes containing the word documents:

    “In the course of writing one historical book or another, it has happened that I could hardly restrain myself from simply copying entire documents. Indeed, I sometimes sank down among the documents and said to myself, I can’t improve on these.”
    —Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
