OpenID provider using phpMyID

I wanted myself an OpenID identifier. To sometimes write comments on other sites that allow OpenID . At first I thought that for this you need to install Wordpress with some kind of plug-in. I was wrong. To create on your site OpenID provider a rather small phpMyID library

phpMyID is a single-user identity provider for OpenID . Installation instructions are in the distribution, but it all comes down to simple. upload two php files MyID.php and MyID.config.php and edit MyID.config.php (Well, or correct first, then upload, to whom it is more convenient). Change the auth_realm parameter to something of your own (this line will then be at the password prompt in the browser), change the auth_username to your favorite login, generate a string (I assume that you have access to the shell):

echo -n '_:_realm:_' | openssl md5

Insert the generated string in the parameter auth_password .
')
For a start, that's all. Now your OpenID will be domain.tld / dir / phpMyId.config.php . Check it out.

But I was not satisfied. I corrected the lighttpd config by adding the urls substitution rule:

url.rewrite-once = (
...
"^/alexey(.*)$" => "/MyID.config.php$1"
...
)

and got yourself an OpenID : boyko.km.ua/alexey

You can add a second user by copying the phpMyId.config.php file with a different name, and setting up another URL substitution rule in lighttpd.conf

Don't forget to read the README from the phpMyId distribution .
