openid provider

[rsoika]

I tried to implement a OpenID provider service implementation.

The OpenID URL should be :

http://localhost:4040/rest/auth/openid

But for several reasons it seems that this is not possible. Most Relying Parties try to discover the provider before redirect

See: http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#rp_discovery

So it looks like an local openId provider is not accessible from most openId client sites :-(

Also localhacks.com did not solve the problem for me http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-general/2008-January/004023.html

We can solve this problem when we simply move the OpenId Server stuff to the ImixsCrypt Public API. There we can fulfill the requirements. And we can use our idea of a simple local authentication concept as well.
