OpenID

When you start developing new stuff it’s always good to do some reading up into the documentation. Below you’ll find some nice links and steps to get you started.

1. Start by reading the OpenID specifications at OpenID.net.
2. What do you need to enable your site for OpenID can be found here.
3. There is some OpenID software you might want to look into.
4. Some libraries are always handy which are on the OpenID wiki.
5. Apart from the above, Hyves does support a lot of features of OpenID but not everything just yet. Have a look at our Specs & Limitations page to find out more.

An example based on the PHP OpenID library (with source code) can be found here.
