DotNetOpenAuth OpenID provider not accepting requests

Question

I've done my best to duplicate the DotNetOpenAuth OpenID provider sample in a new project, mostly to learn how to use it. I use the DotNetOpenAuth OpenID RP example to test. When I run both samples (provider and rp), and point the rp to the provider's url, everything goes correctly.

But after hours of frustration, I have done my best to copy the provider sample into my project, but I still cannot get the rp sample to recognize my provider.

I have turned on every kind of log that I can for DotNetOpenAuth, but I dont get any helpful information. Here is what I do get: http://pastebin.com/k4XYnu8q

Since I cannot nail down a solid reason for why, I thought it would be helpful to provide the entire project. Obviously, I know some people wont download an archived file, so I uploaded the project to github. It can be accessed here.

I have done some asking on the DotNetOpenAuth Jabbr channel, but I was just advised to post here.

So, here is what I am asking.

• Does anyone have any ideas on why this wont work? All my code is available on the github page. I have been working on this for days, so I am willing to take almost any solution.

  OR

• Does anyone know of a good tutorial so that I could rework this project the right way?

Edit

I know full well that this question is not very specific. And I would happily specify it, but I can't. I am at a total loss for what is causing this, so therefore I am at a total loss for what to ask. That is why this question is slightly more open ended then the usual question.

Edit 2

I took a look at this answer, but that is not the problem.

Edit 3 I thought It may be helpful to add that I am using DNOA 5.0, but I can switch it back to 4.x. Also, as you can see I opened a bounty on this question. I made the value higher as I expect the person who answers will have to dig through the project on github, referenced here

Answer 1

Just missed you in the JabbR room. Left a message for you.

For starters I would not use DNOA 5.0 as it's currently in 'alpha'. Please try recreate using the version you can get from the 'stable' nuget feed.

DotNetOpenAuth uses XRDS to discover OP Endpoint URL. In OpenIdProviderMvc sample project there is a file named "xrsd.aspx", Copy that file into your project and everything will work correctly. For more information about OpenID and XRDS go to this Address: http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#discovery
