Hi mewp,
what do you think about providing a wiki-page with a possible database
implementation?
Something like this:
Title: Extend an existing MySQL-login-system with OpenID
Requirements: You already have a login-system and you store some user-data in a
MySQL Database which looks simmilar to this:
Usertable:
| id | username | password | prename | lastname ...
| unique |
Then you can create a new table which stores the OpenIDs. Keep in mind that
every user might have several openIDs, but no OpenID can belong to more than
one user:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `UserOpenIDs` (
`openid_url` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`user_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`openid_url`),
KEY `user_id` (`user_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
You have to provide a possibility for users to "bind" their OpenIDs to their
account and to sign in with their OpenIDs. You should also think about
redesigning your registration process.

While it's not related to the library itself, it may be useful for some people.
However, writing such tutorial is not as simple as you might think. For
example, the your approach to storing identities has a critical flaw -- URL-s
can be much longer than 255 characters. While that may not happen often and may
be a risk that you're willing to take for your own website, I can't tell people
that it's The Right Way to do it.
Also, I'd have to write something about the registration process you've
mentioned, and various other things (openid-only vs password auth + openid, for
example).
So I probably will get to it eventually, but it'll take some time.

Hi mewp,
do you know this project: http://code.google.com/p/openid-selector/ ?
I think lightopenid and the openid-selector might be a good combination for
many projects. What do you think about setting a link to them? I'll propose
that the openid-selector project, too.
cheers,
Martin

Hi mewp,
on the homepage (http://code.google.com/p/lightopenid/) your wrote
"Works only as a consumer."
I think this is outdated. Now it works also as a privider, doesn't it?

I've added a link to openid-selector and updated the project summary.
