Problem installing OpenID on ASP.NET MVC Site

Question

I am trying to install openID into my web site project that is using ASP.NET MVC, specifically with Yahoo

Yahoo keeps giving me this : "Warning: This website has not confirmed its identity with Yahoo! and might be fraudulent. Do not share any personal information with this website unless you are certain it is legitimate."

However I have followed the setup procedures I have a Yardis document setup and the following in the header of my realm URI

<meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location" content="http://www.daimokuchart.com/yadis" />

My Yardis document is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xrds:XRDS
    xmlns:xrds="xri://$xrds"
    xmlns:openid="http://openid.net/xmlns/1.0"
    xmlns="xri://$xrd*($v*2.0)">
    <XRD>
     <Service priority="1">
      <Type>http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/return_to&lt;/Type&gt;
      <URI>http://www.daimokuchart.com/Users/Authenticate&lt;/URI&gt;
     </Service>
    </XRD>
</xrds:XRDS>

This is getting rather frustrating as I am not sure what else I can be missing.

Note: The domain given in this example isn't actually live at this time... I am however testing it on a live site I just can not give out the URL at this time as we are not done developing the site yet.

Update 3/4 I did find a Yadis testing site, and it passed so the problem is Yahoo is not discovering it for some reason.

Update 3/5 Still no luck I talked with someone and they said this

needed to be in my root url so I did that now yahoo reports something is wrong with the site... but not sure what the problem is...

Answer 1

My first thought is that your realm URL (http://www.daimokuchart.com/yadis), seems to redirect to http://blog.daimokuchart.com/yadis when I attempt to browse there. The following writeup (linked from Yahoo's OpenID FAQ) mentions that the realm URI can't redirect:

Answer 2

Check that your openid.return_to parameter is found in your YADIS/XRDS document, including matching capitalization.
