+The reason for only accepting OpenID from mageia, is to have a link
+between the forum account and mageia account. If we allow any OpenID
+server to be used on the forum, we don't know if a user on the forum
+corresponds to the same user on Mageia accounts.
+So I think we should only allow Mageia openid to be used.
