OpenID Samples

OpenID could use a few technical writers to cleanup their end-user tutorials and OpenID Provider documentation. Their 1.1 spec was approachable, but their 2.0 requires extensive background knowledge.

The PHP sample is easy enough to use in the consumer or relying party mode. The server or OpenID provider is harder. The sample site has no passwords and anyone can use any username. Here are the steps I used:

1. Login with a fake username.
   
2. Your OpenID URI is http://openidenabled.com/php-openid/trunk/examples/server/server.php/idpage?user=[user]
   
3. You can test it here. This is the relying party site.
   
4. You can logout of the OpenID provider.
