[Open-bio-l] OpenID working again

[Fields, Christopher J]

Sent that about 3 seconds too early…

Looks as if there are several additional switches that can be set (defaults to FALSE):

$wgOpenIDUseEmailAsNickname = true;
$wgOpenIDAllowExistingAccountSelection = false;
$wgOpenIDAllowNewAccountname = false;

Will RTFM on our installed version to confirm and see if I can dig those up.  The 1.18.x issue that seemed to be a blocker (OpenID pref panel) actually works for us, so I'm not sure an upgrade is needed yet.

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?
