What is an OpenID?
===============
OpenID allows you to use an existing identity to sign in to multiple websites, which were support OpenID services with out creating an account in there sites.
Mainly OpenID’s are used, when we can’t remember our passwords in many sites or tired of filling out registration forms with plenty fields to register in a site, so for that we will go for OpenID option, it is a safe, faster and easier way to login in to those web sites.
OpenID will be created with “usernames” or “email addresses”. OpenID login supported sites over 50 to 60 thousand websites accepting for logins, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft, Myspace And also some Government sites.
The Main point we can say that, OpenID is a “Decentralized Authentication Protocol” that makes it easy for people to login into their websites.
OpenID Official site was https://www.myopenid.com/
==================================
OpenID Providers
=========== ===
• MyOpenID (https://www.myopenid.com/)
• LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com/)
• Vox (http://www.vox.com/)

For login with Gmail OpenID there is another provider site

Libraries for OpenID, we find different openid libraries with different language support

For Php, http://www.openidenabled.com/php-openid/
For Java, http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/
For dotnet, http://code.google.com/p/dotnetopenid/
For example, we have an OpenID http://sivakrishna59.myopenid.com with http://myopenid.com . With this OpenID we can login in to any number of sites which were provide login authentication with OpenID.
How can we make our site as an OpenID Providers?
====================================
We can also make our site as an OpenID Providers. We have to register in openid foundation site, and it will provide different OpenID packages with different cost prices.
And also there is another site https://rpxnow.com/ it will provide a way to connect other openid sites with out integrating into our sites, it will provide all user interfaces and widgets and one API to communicate with other sites to login, and it will provide different types of packages. It will provide “sign-in interface”, “sign-in interface providers”, “basic profile data” and “one admin authentication” for basic user. You can find different accounts information https://rpxnow.com/get .
