“A Beginners Guide to OpenID”

September 6, 2007 |

There has been a lot of discussion on the OpenID marketing mailinglist recently about how to explain OpenID to the not so geeky user. This is also the topic of Carstens post on his blog called “Not so relevant”.

In his well done summary Carsten gives an excellent introduction and steps through the questions “what is OpenID”, “where to get my own OpenID”, “what is a relying party” and “how does it work”. He also gives hints on obstacles that may occur using OpenID.
