Comment 34 for bug 881019

With respect to the OpenStack Gerrit, it's not that the consumer is buggy, it's that since we're trying to _integrate_ with Launchpad, we need to know the _Launchpad_ user of the person who is authenticating to us. It's not enough to just know be given an opaque identifier, we need to know the Launchpad user ID of that person so that we know what groups they are a member of, etc. If we just wanted to use an opaque OpenID provider, we could have used any number of other ones. The value in using Launchpad's OpenID provider is that we can integrate our tools and processes with Launchpad.

William, a while ago you suggested an API call that would allow us to query all of the identifiers for a given Launchpad account? I believe we can work around the problem if that's added. Do you still think that would be feasible?
