Cannot get attributes from DotNetOpenId response

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to get the users information after validating via open id. It doesn't matter if I supply a ClaimsRequest or FetchRequest whenever I call

response.GetExtension<ClaimsResponse>

//Or

response.GetExtension<FetchResponse>

//Or

response.GetUntrustedExtension<ClaimsResponse>

// OR

response.GetUntrustedExtension<FetchResponse>

I always get a null reference. I'm adding the information just like in all the examples I've seen like this:

request.AddExtension(new ClaimsRequest{ Email = DemandLevel.Require });

// Or

var fetch = new FetchRequest();
fetch.Attributes.AddRequired(WellKnownAttributes.Contact.Email);
request.AddExtension(fetch);

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Update

Adding the configuration info suggested by Andrew got me part of the way there. I'm finally getting a ClaimsResponse back with response.GetUntrustedExtension<ClaimsResponse> however response.GetExtension<ClaimsResponse> still returns null. Also the ClaimsResponse returned doesn't actually contain any of the data I requested. Here's the request:

var request = openId.CreateRequest(Request.Form["openid_identifier"]);
request.AddExtension(new ClaimsRequest
    {
        BirthDate = DemandLevel.Request,
        Country = DemandLevel.Request,
        Email = DemandLevel.Require,
        FullName = DemandLevel.Request,
        Gender = DemandLevel.Request,
        Language = DemandLevel.Request,
        Nickname = DemandLevel.Request,
        PostalCode = DemandLevel.Request,
        TimeZone = DemandLevel.Request 
      });

      return request.RedirectingResponse.AsActionResult();

Here is my configuration

  <uri>
    <idn enabled="All"/>
    <iriParsing enabled="true"/>
  </uri>
  <dotNetOpenAuth>
    <openid maxAuthenticationTime="0:05">

        minimumHashBitLength="160"
        maximumHashBitLength="256"
        requireDirectedIdentity="false"
        requireAssociation="false"
        rejectUnsolicitedAssertions="false"

          <!-- since this is a sample, and will often be used with localhost -->
          <add name="localhost" />
        </whitelistHosts>

I'm running v3.2.0.9177

Answer 1

It could very well be that the Provider you're testing against doesn't support these extensions. Or, if it's Google, it only answers the question once (unless during login you're careful to not leave Remember Me checked).

Now with DotNetOpenAuth v3.2, the best way to send extensions is probably to use the new attribute extension 'behavior'. It will automatically use sreg and/or AX (in up to three different AX formats) depending on the Provider in order to maximize your chance of getting a useful result if the Provider supports any of these extensions at all.

Stick this bit in your web.config file, where suggested in the full configuration wiki page.

<behaviors>
    <add type="DotNetOpenAuth.OpenId.Behaviors.AXFetchAsSregTransform, DotNetOpenAuth" />
</behaviors>

Then use ClaimsRequest/ClaimsResponse (sreg) instead of AX' FetchRequest so that the behavior can do its work.

Since you mentioned that you're testing against myopenid.com, I'll also throw out the heads up that it seems they've turned off extensions support when you're testing an RP that is on 'localhost'. Your RP apparently has to be public and maybe even discoverable (per the OpenID 2.0 rules for RP discovery) for the attribute request to be honored. This might be what you're running into.

Hi,

I have a same problem what you had.

Can you help me what the solution was?

If I see well, in the answer there is a config setting data:

I hvae this in my config file, but unfortunatelly it doesn't help me :)

Can you help me?
