I was able to log in. It seemed a lot easier than the other OpenLink webid implementations, minus perhaps a couple of problems:

  -1. It asks me for my certificate immediately on arriving on the page (before I even see the
content. This is off-putting for humans.) 
  -2  I login and it still shows me the login page - If I am logged in, then there is no need to ask me
   how I want to login - that is confusing. Instead you should say - Welcome Henry, .... your friends have
   recently edited....

  So for humans you should have them 

  1. arrive on a login page with one big button.
  2. if they click the button they should be asked for their webid - if they don't have a certificate the server can ask them to login with other mechanisms such as OAuth, OpenId, user/password, etc...


 We should write this up as a best practice. So I am cling webid group.
