   Is it possible to share the openID information across different blogs that are already sharing the user tables? I found reference to 'CUSTOM_OPENID_IDENTITY_TABLE' but I'm not clear how to properly use that in the wp-config.php file.

   Thanks!

   Did you find the reference by looking in the code or at the DiSo Wiki:
   http://wiki.diso-project.org/wordpress-openid-api#HiddenOptions
   If you haven't seen this wiki page, take a look.

   If you're already sharing the user table, then you have some special definitions in your wp-config.php similar to what is instructured at:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Custom_User_and_Usermeta_Tables

   Just do the same thing, using the key 'CUSTOM_OPENID_IDENTITY_TABLE', and whatever table name you want to use. The default table name is $wpdb->prefix . 'openid_identites'.

   that's exactly what I've found, but I'm not sure how to translate the phrase "$wpdb->prefix . 'openid_identites'. " into what I'm using for the other shares.

   is that supposed to say "prefix-openid_identities"? what's the table name that's actually being shared? I don't think I've ever actually run into that syntax before :(

   "$wpdb->prefix" is the same things as "$table_prefix" in your wp-config.php file. This means that, by default, the name of the table will be whatever your table prefix is, combined with the string "openid_identities". If you table prefix is "wp_", then the actual table name will be "wp_openid_identities".

   What do you have set for your CUSTOM_USER_TABLE ?

   ah, I see now. what was confusing me was the period that was in the middle of the prefix and the table name. So, if I wanted to share the default wordpress prefix's table, I used :

   
'
define('CUSTOM_OPENID_IDENTITY_TABLE', 'wp_openid_identities');
'


   that worked out perfectly, thanks for helping a dense guy out wnorris ;)

   I've combined this with the method of sharing the user tables, so now registered users can log in with their openID on all my sites, yay!
