[Open-bio-l] OpenID working again

Thu Apr 18 17:41:18 UTC 2013

Nevermind, Naohisa pointed out on Basecamp that there is an explicit account creation setting that needed to be commented out.  This seems to be fixed now on the various sites; can everyone confirm?

I'll re-enable normal logins for the time being; using that route at least allows users to set up an account (OpenID works fine once that is in place).

A little non-intuitive, though.  I ran into that on BioDAS last night but managed to muddle through, ended up with an account using my full name.  Can you try that?
