This module implements an OpenID Provider in Drupal based on the OpenID Authentication 2.0 specification. It turns your Drupal site into an OpenID provider and allows users of your site to login to any other OpenID-enabled site using their Drupal password and identity.

Deprecation notice

Note that the OpenID 2.0 specification is being replaced by the new OpenID Connect standard, especially by Google, which will shut down OpenID 2.0 support by september 2014. Drupal site administrators are encouraged to consider the new OAuth2 Server module (for server-side) and OpenID Connct module (for client-side). Installing both OAuth2 server and OpenID Provider side-by-side should be possible, but remains to be tested.

Also note that this module is now in minimal maintenance mode will probably see very little changes in the future, especially now that the OpenID client has left Drupal core.

Dependencies

This module depends on the XRDS Simple module and the core OpenID module. It also works well with pathauto to enable users to have clean OpenID identifiers.
