The idea is instead of asking sites to implement all these auth systems, to basically widgetize identity. As a site, you'd just paste some code onto your pages, and that code would register / login users via a third party site, the "identity meta-provider". No implementation hassles, and someone else takes care of keeping up to date with the latest versions, patches, etc. What do you think?

I picked the most polished-looking OpenID library I could find but it required a ton of extra steps since there's no one right way. Thanks for the link Dave, I'll check that out.

I decided that the JanRain libraries were too complex for my needs (I just wanted a dumb consumer) so I wrote a one file library that does this, it's a symfony plugin, sfOpenIDPlugin. But if you look at it: http://www.symfony-project.com/trac/browser/plugins/sfOpenIDPlugin/lib/sfOpenID.class.php There's not too much that's symfony specific... in fact I can't think if anything is off hand. You can look within that plugin to see how I implimented the library, but it's pretty... simple... dumb... easy... ;) -d Hey, thanks for the comparison.
