Why OpenID?

1. It's an open standard
2. It's secure
3. For company, it's available in closed environnement with a server running an OpenID service (there's many available out there)
4. A single Id for all website supporting OpenID (growing and growing)
5. It adheres to Bespin mind : using new ideas/technologies

How does it work?

Account registration

• You first need to get an OpenID/OpenID provider ID : http://openid.net/get/ (And you probably already have one)

• Once it's done, you fill the information (if any), and we create/register your account associated with your user id

Login

When you come back on the web application you:

• Click a sign in link/button
• Choose a listed provider or enter your own OpenID provider
• You are automatically redirected to your provider to confirm that you want to login
• Getting back to your web server and Voilà!
