Hi Hugh;

About your second idea "When an error occurs for the user, send the admin a notification".
Do you mean when a user try to login via BrowserID, this error can happen, then a notification will be sent to the site admin?
If yes, I am affraid that admin will receive a huge number of notifications as every time a user failed to login via BrowserID, the admin will get a notification.

Title:
  BrowserID plugin should check for firewall issues before getting
  enabled

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If your server is set to prevent outgoing HTTPS connections, the
  BrowserID plugin will fail to verify any assertion with this error
  message:

    Mahara did not receive valid JSON output from the BrowserID
  verifier.

  Ideally, the auth plugin should curl
  https://verifier.login.persona.org/verify and see if it can reach it
  succesfully before letting admins enable it for a site.
