http://ao2.it/wiki/How_to_use_your_Drupal_site_as_an_OpenID_over_SSL (details on certs, but doesn't actually use openid_provider...?)

http://cms.tinloaf.de/de/node/11 sez:

If you enabled those two modules successfully, you probably have a working OpenID provider by now. Your 'identity URL' will now look like 'http://yoursite.tld/user/nr/identity'. Browse to that URL (with 'nr' replaced by your user ID - you can find out your user id by inspecting the link that you can use to edit your account details...) to check if it works.

OK, it's working, but that URL really is too long to type it everytime you want to login somewhere, right? Here, the 'path' module comes in handy. That one is part of Drupal core (at leat in Drupal 6) and just has to be enabled. If you did this, you can create aliases for URLs below your Drupal installation via 'http://yoursite.tld/admin/build/path'. Just create a nice short alias for that long URL above.
