I’m now quite close to having a (functioning!) OpenID identity provider server up and running. I’m using the JOID OpenID api and has been fairly easy to set up. What I’ve created is based on their example server application, but I’ve changed to using a database as the store and made the interface a bit prettier! I came across a couple of little issues, for example with logging in to LiveJournal, but managed to get these fixed up without too much hassle – the problems/queries I’ve had are posted up on the JOID-dev maillist – so I won’t repeat them all here.

The last few bits for me to finish off are allowing users to update their profile and to reset passwords, once that’s done I’ll post up the URL so people can have a play. Then I’ll be on to the task of allowing users to log into MSG using their OpenIDs
