OpenID for MediaWiki version 1.15.5, 1.17 [SOLVED]

Hello

These instructions work fine with MW 1.17. Thank you!

However, on the first try I got the following error in the web server:

PHP Fatal error: Define Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE as null to continue with an insecure random number generator. in $IP/extensions/OpenID/Auth/OpenID/CryptUtil.php on line 52"

Fixed it replacing the line 23 from: define('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE', '/dev/urandom); to: define('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE', NULL);

But I don't know if it is safe, is it? Regards

Mclaud2000,

I added the "PHP Fatal error: Define Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE as null..." problem (you are not the only person reporting this) and solution to the main page, including references. All references which I consulted say that it is reasonable safe.
