PlatformRedirector
From VZ Developer Wiki
In order to help third party sites to implement VZ-ID features like Sharing or VZ-Login we created a simple to use PlatformRedirector which tries to direct the user to the correct VZ platform that he is using. That means that if you want to implement e.g. a sharing button, you just need to implement one button which points tot he PlatformRedirector and can be used for all VZ networks.
Internally this is inspired by the XAuth specification (see http://xauth.org/). When the user logs into a VZ network the current network identifier is stored in a cookie on a central domain (of course without any user information). The Redirector retrieves this cookie and directs the user to the right platform.
The PlatformRedirector is available at:
