As you know, I have done a topic long ago about OpenID and a few weeks or so ago, I created my personal portfolio site (Matthew’s Portfolio) and I decided that I would rather use my OpenID URL as that site rather then this site but sadly ….
OpenID is meant to be simple, you have your URL and then add some HTML to your site in which then goes to your OpenID provider and thus allows OpenID login.
Now, sadly when I wanted to be my own provider it didn’t work. I have tried scripts after scripts, WordPress plugins after WordPress plugins and no luck. I have re-complied PHP with CURL, different PHP versions and sadly, still no luck.
So for now, I am using an external OpenID provider (WordPress Hosted Blog) and using a blog I created ages ago so that I can use it as my OpenID provider while I look into getting my own OpenID provider sorted (Why can I see myself getting another server just for this ?).
If anyone knows a OpenID Provider script that worked for you, or a WordPress plugin, do drop me a line
