Run your own identity server

Page history last edited by Ole Kristian Ek Hornnes 13 years, 2 months ago Saved with comment

Running your own identity server allows you to act as an OpenID Provider. You could run one just for yourself, for a community of users or, if you wish, for the general public. You do not need to register or obtain permission from anyone; you just need to run an OpenID identity server on your site. This requires the ability to install and run some software on your web server. Some existing OpenID identity server implementations are listed below.

  • PHP
    • Community-ID - Community-ID is an OpenID implementation in PHP which is OpenID 2.0 compliant. Community-ID is build to 100% on Open Source software and is release under the BSD license. Users can keep track of their trusted sites and manage them. For Community-ID administrators statistics are available to track registration of new users, authorized users per day or the number of trusted sites. Administrators can set the site in maintenance mode or send emails to all registered users. For user data and authentication, admin can choose the default db storage, or to connect to an LDAP server
    • Prairie - a lightweight OpenID based Internet identity server which includes a simple profile webpage (Internet identity), can be installed as a single user or a service to host many separate users, contact form, DH-SHA1 & DH-SHA256 support, OpenID 1.1 & OpenID 2.0 compliant, themed "skins" which can be easily downloaded and added & it's multi-lingual.
