End of an era. StackOverflow is dropping support for OpenID. https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307647/support-for-openid-ends-on-july-1-2018In related news, indieauth.com usage is steadily growing. However the vast majority of that is people logging in to StackExchange since it was one of the last remaining OpenID consumers š

Day 73: Updated Documentation for indieauth.com #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I updated the documentation for indieauth.com to include a setup guide for using indieauth.com as your OpenID provider, and added more prominent links to the OpenID and PGP instructions in various places on the site.
The header bar and footer now include direct links to PGP and OpenID setup instructions. The main setup page also now links to the PGP setup page and includes an example of linking to your PGP key along with the other example providers.
I wrote a setup guide for configuring indieauth.com as an OpenID provider.
At this point, OpenID 1 is almost completely gone. There are only a few sites that still consume it, and most of the former major providers have all shut down. Quite a lot of people have migrated to using indieauth.com as their provider since it's one of the few remaining services online. Hopefully this new setup guide will make it even easier to find for people looking to migrate.

The @wordpress OpenID plugin no longer works with my site. Iām having a hell of a time finding an easy way to use my WP domain as an OpenID.@wanda_lotus I use https://indieauth.com for the few sites left that consume OpenID. Setup instructions: https://indieweb.org/indieauth.com#OpenID -

Will consider #indieauth, but negatively angled "why not #openid" info had (has) me thinking otherwise https://indieweb.org/OpenID@joelpurra There also seem to be almost no OpenID providers left except indieauth.com, since myopenid shut down. -

Will consider #indieauth, but negatively angled "why not #openid" info had (has) me thinking otherwise https://indieweb.org/OpenID@joelpurra Well I would never suggest anyone use OpenID 1 for anything new, but I can see how that's confusing. Will see if I can rephrase.

@joelpurra @oplife indieauth.com should still be running an OpenID provider. I just used it to sign in to StackOverflow yesterday!

So I thought, this morning, "I'll add a gem to http://manabasecrafter.com to act as an OpenID server." But all the gems are obsolete. Then I thought "Didn't I use something called MyOpenID at one point?" They've closed. Then I thought "Didn't Google offer one?" They discontinued it last month. Then I thought "I'll do it the dumb way and just use the WordPress plugin that does it on a dummy site." That plugin is no longer supported and incompatible with the current version of WordPress. Then I thought "I'll try it in raw PHP." There is apparently one working library, and all they offer is an example server "to give you an idea of how to write your own implementation."

Thanks for making my life easier today, @Indie_Auth. My woeful #OpenID tale: http://mcg.ee/iaus

@yatil @adactio @t You can use IndieAuth.com as your OpenID delegate to sign in to the few remaining sites that still consume OpenID. The OpenID community has moved on to OpenID Connect which is more similar to OAuth 2.0 #decentcamp

@6a68 @ataraxia_status Yeah! Check out the quick setup here: http://indiewebcamp.com/indieauth#Use_IndieAuth_for_your_OpenID

IndieAuth now supports OpenID delegation!
You can now use IndieAuth.com as an OpenID delegate! This makes it super easy to move off of myopenid.com since it will be shutting down in a few months.
Janrain just announced that MyOpenId.com will be shutting down by early 2014. If you currently delegate OpenID on your domain to myopenid.com, you'll need to find a new OpenID provider.
With the help of @peat today at the IndieAuth OpenID hackathon, we built in OpenID delegation support to indieauth.com! Now you can sign in to any website that supports OpenID using indieauth.com!
Quickstart
First make sure you have set up IndieAuth by signing in at indieauth.com. You will need to add one or more authentication providers by adding tags to your home page (either in the html <head> or in the body of the page) such as:
<a href="https://github.com/example" rel="me">github.com/example</a> <link href="mailto:you@example.com" rel="me">
Try signing in to a site that supports IndieAuth, such as the IndieWebCamp wiki or even my site.
OpenID Delegation
Once you've confirmed that IndieAuth is working, add the following OpenID delegate tags to your home page, replacing aaronparecki.com with your own domain of course:
<link rel="openid.server" href="https://indieauth.com/openid" /> <link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://aaronparecki.com/" />
Now you should be able to sign in to any site that supports OpenID! Try it out on stackoverflow.com or sourceforge.net!

RT @peat: Sweet! @Indie_Auth (https://indieauth.com/) now supports #OpenID delegation. I'm officially off http://myopenid.com.
-
Going to be hacking on #indieauth tomorrow at Sisters Coffee so it can be used as a replacement for MyOpenID!
-
@shawndrape Yes, that would be #OpenID. Mozilla's #BrowserID is similar but uses email addresses as the identity. RelMeAuth and IndieAuth are meant to address the complexities of OpenID by delegating to a third party.
