setting openid realm
 
   
  
 
 
What is the best way to set the realm parameter in askbot, for the openid login?
 
Reason: Google openid apparently does "directed identity", which means the returned id is different for different return_to urls (even for the same google account). Very undesirable. 
 
Goal: I'd like the openid to be unique across our entire site, by setting realm=http://*.mydomain.com/.

It is a very useful parameter, we had this problem for a while - could not port openid logins between subdomains, apparently this is the way to do it.
