How to login with Open Id
OpenId allows you to use an already existing account (e.g. from Google or Yahoo) to log into WebProtege. The first time you log in with an OpenID account into WebProtege, you need to associate the OpenId account with the WebProtege account. At any later time, you will be able to simply login in with your OpenId account.
Note. No private information about your external account (passwords or email addresses) is held or even accessed by WebProtege. The validation of your account is all done by the external provider, just as it is when normally accessing their site. WebProtege currently supports logins from providers like Google, Yahoo, AOL, Flickr, MySpace, etc.
Removing your Open Id account in WebProtege will not delete your Yahoo, Google or any other accounts you hold with other parties.
Contents
First time: associate an OpenId with the WebProtege account
The first time you login with your OpenId account, we associate that account with your WebProtege account.
1. Click on the sign in link at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
2. Select your OpenId provider (Google, Yahoo etc) from the list at the bottom of the dialog box. Note that there are more options at the bottom right-hand corner of the dialog box.
3. Sign in to your Open Id provider with your Open Id sign in (GMail username, Yahoo userid etc).
4. You will now be asked if you already have a WebProtege user account. Click yes.
5. Sign into WebProtege, as you normally would, providing your username and password.
6. Click on OK to acknowledge the linking of your Open Id account to your WebProtege account.
7. You are now signed into WebProtege, with the account you provided in step 5.
Log in with OpenId
If you have already associated your OpenId with a WebProtege account (as described in the first section), then at any later time, you can simply log in with your OpenId.
1. Click on the sign in link at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
2. Select your OpenId provider (Google, Yahoo etc) from the list at the bottom of the dialog box.
3. Sign in to your Open Id provider with your Open Id sign in (GMail username, Yahoo userid, etc).
4. You are now signed into the WebProtege account associated with this OpenId login
Removing OpenId from WebProtege
1. Begin by clicking on Options -> Edit Profile.
2. You are now looking at the edit profile dialog; you will need to click on the Associated OpenId link at the bottom of the screen to see all your associated Open Id accounts.
3. Click on the cross next to any Open Id accounts you want to remove. Note that this will not remove any information held by your external provider. Removing your Open Id account in WebProtege will not delete your Yahoo, Google or any other accounts you hold with other parties.
4. The link between your accounts is removed; you may no longer use that Open Id account to log into WebProtege. Click on OK to return to the main screen.
