OpenID '/dev/urandom' Error
Today I read the announcement for the new feature (openid) from nat.

I followed his steps.
I'm on the top page, as guest.

Type into textbox me verisign openid username, then submit.
After that, I got


Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference in file modules/openid/occommon.php line 72
Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference in file modules/openid/occommon.php line 81
Error [Xoops]: Define Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE as null to continue with an insecure random number generator. in file modules/openid/library/Auth/OpenID/CryptUtil.php line 52

Re: OpenID error
First two Notices, you can ignore. I knew about them and I am going to fix in the next version, but it works anyways.

The thrid one: You probably are using Windows as the web server. It is saying that it cannot find the /dev/urandom, which of course is right. I am going to report this to JanRain, the writer of the library, but in the mean time, you can change the line to something like define('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE', null);

Then, you should be able to go forward.

Re: OpenID error
As far as I saw from the cpanel of my ISP, it's linux server (kernel 2.6.9).

Regarding

define('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE', null);

In which file I have to add this line?

Thanks for your reply :)

Re: OpenID error
You have to edit CryptUtil.php.

It's working now

I got only an intermediate page with notices and warnings like


Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference in file modules/openid/occommon.php line 72

Re: OpenID error
Thanks. I will either fix the notice generating code in the next release or notify the developper of the OpenID liberary so that they can fix them.

Actually, if you can post your fix here, that is great.

But it is good to hear that it is working now.

Regards,

Nat

Re: OpenID error
Probably this error depends on the hosting environment.

The change is in /modules/openid/library/Auth/OpenID/CryptUtil.php

at the beginning


if (!defined('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE')) {
    /**
     * The filename for a source of random bytes. Define this yourself
     * if you have a different source of randomness.
     */
     define('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE', null); 
     //define('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE', '/dev/urandom');
}


Now xoopsCube.gr is OpenID enabled

When I click submit, I get an intermediate white page with a button ('Continue") for a couple of seconds. Then I connected to me openid provider.

That's what I noticed so far...

By the way my configuration is
MySQL 4.1.22-standard, php 4.4.7
